LG Energy Solution has developed a new, long-lasting all-solid-state battery that can be charged at room temperatures, moving a step closer to commercializing solid-state batteries.
Engineers create a high-performance all-solid-state battery with a pure-silicon anode, that according to LG Energy, surprised the engineers who created it.
The battery technology is described in the 24 September, 2021 issue of the journal Science. University of California San Diego nanoengineers led the research, in collaboration with researchers at LG Energy Solution.
LG says the initial rounds of tests show that the new solid-state battery is safe, long lasting, and energy dense. It holds promise for a wide range of applications from grid storage to electric vehicles.
LG Energy Solution said the new work has brought them much closer to realizing all-solid-state battery techniques.
“LG Energy Solution is delighted that the latest research on battery technology with UC San Diego made it onto the journal of Science, a meaningful acknowledgement,” said Kim Myung-hwan, president and chief procurement officer at LG Energy Solution. “As a leading battery manufacturer, LG Energy Solution will continue its effort to foster state-of-the-art techniques in leading research of next-generation battery cells,” he added.
There are multiple benefits to solid-state battery technology. In short, the solid electrolyte used in a solid-state battery provides higher energy density, longer lifespan, and increased safety in a smaller size!
Solid-state batteries are said to be capable of delivering 2.5 times more energy density of current lithium-ion tech.
Solid-state batteries can work at very high rates of power. Research suggests that they may be able to recharge 4-6 times faster than current technologies safely.
Solid-state batteries provide safer battery experience for electric vehicle owners and are much easier to manufacture.
