Solid state battery invention: smaller in size and stronger in life than lithium batteries

At present, the consumer electronics industry battery is the largest short board, in the new technology rapid development today, battery technology still stays on the old lithium battery, which makes mobile phone manufacturers very depressed, in the end, when can we usher in the real development of battery technology?

Solid state power in Colorado has started commercial solid-state battery technology, according to CNET, with BMW's first partner, which has pledged to provide some form of battery assembly for each of its products over the next decade. Including pure electric vehicles, hybrid models and light hybrid models.

The biggest benefit for solid-state batteries is that they are safer than lithium-ion batteries, and they charge faster, at least twice as long at the same density, which is definitely good for automakers. Because under the same range of requirements, the cell size can be halved, or the car's mileage can be doubled without changing the size of the battery pack, while improving performance.

As for the super-fast charging capability of solid-state battery technology, the cost of allowing users to charge an electric vehicle in just 5-10 minutes as the technology progresses is not too high. Lithium-ion batteries are said to be priced at $70 per kilowatt-hour within seven years. Solid state batteries will be 20 % cheaper than lithium-ion batteries.

In fact, solid-state batteries use ceramic materials to replace the liquid electrolytes in general batteries. Another advantage of this change is that it completely solves the safety concerns of flammable liquids and gasoline in lithium-ion batteries.

Of course, the most gratifying thing is that solid-state battery technology can also be used on mobile devices. Smartphones will also be beneficiaries, depending on who uses it first.
