Belgium developed a new solid-state lithium battery

British media said that the Belgian Intercollegiate Microelectronics Center has developed an innovative solid-state lithium-ion battery that achieves an energy density of 200 watt-hours per liter in two hours of charging.

According to the British Science News website reported on April 10th, the Inter-School Microelectronics Center is the world's leading research and innovation center for nanoelectronics, energy and digital technology, and also a partner of research institute EnergyVille.

According to reports, this battery represents a milestone in our development blueprint, which will surpass liquid lithium-ion batteries and reach a level of 1000 hours per 1000 watts by 2024. Following such a clear performance improvement route, the battery technology of the Inter-University Microelectronics Center will become a competitor in the fast-charged remote electric vehicle battery industry in the future.

The future of mobility is largely electric, driven by fast charging, safe and compact batteries. Researchers at the Inter-School Microelectronics Center are working on a next-generation battery that uses a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte to increase the energy density of the battery.

Recently, the Inter-School Microelectronics Center has developed a solid-state nanocomposite electrolyte with outstanding electrical conductivity, up to 10 millisiemens per centimeter, and is expected to increase further in the future. The Inter-School Microelectronics Center has used this new electrolyte to create a battery prototype. The battery prototype has an energy density of 200 watts per liter and a charging speed of two hours.

Philip Wiriken, chief scientist and project manager at the Inter-School Microelectronics Center, said: "Our results show that we can manufacture solid-state batteries that are expected to reach the capacity of liquid electrolyte batteries. The manufacturing process is similar to the former but unlike liquid electrolyte batteries. Our solid-state battery is compatible with metal lithium anodes, with a target of 0.5 hours per 1000 watts per liter. Coupled with long service life and high safety performance, this compact battery technology has broad prospects and can be applied to future remote electric vehicles. ""

According to the report, in order to further improve battery performance, the Inter-School Microelectronics Center is studying the combination of nanoparticle electrodes and nanocomposite electrolytes. The inter-school microelectronics center uses an ultra-thin coating as a buffer layer to control the interaction between the active electrode and the electrolyte.
