New energy solid-state battery life

Are solid-state batteries a leading force in the energy transition?

Written by Dillip Kumar Mishra and Jiangfeng Zhang The global pursuit of sustainable energy transition has experienced a paradigm shift towards advanced energy storage technologies, emerging with solid-state batteries (SSBs). This shift could be a leading force in the energy transition.

How does a solid state battery work?

But, in a solid state battery, the ions on the surface of the silicon are constricted and undergo the dynamic process of lithiation to form lithium metal plating around the core of silicon. “In our design, lithium metal gets wrapped around the silicon particle, like a hard chocolate shell around a hazelnut core in a chocolate truffle,” said Li.

Could a new battery change the game for electric mobility?

A solid-state battery developer in China has unveiled a new cell that could help change the game for electric mobility. Tailan New Energy’s vehicle-grade all-solid-state lithium batteries offer energy density twice that of other cells in the segment, empowering the Chinese battery maker to hail the cells as a record-setter in the industry.

Are SSB batteries a leading force in the energy transition?

This shift could be a leading force in the energy transition. SSBs differ from conventional Li-ion batteries, as they replace the liquid electrolyte with the solid electrolyte, providing significant sustainability benefits.

Are SSBs the future of energy storage?

The advancement and integration of cutting-edge energy storage technologies are vital to this paradigm shift. The advent of SSBs has brought a new ray of hope to the energy sector.

Can a lithium metal anode make solid state batteries?

The research not only describes a new way to make solid state batteries with a lithium metal anode but also offers new understanding into the materials used for these potentially revolutionary batteries. The research is published in Nature Materials.
