A team of researchers in Japan has developed a new quasi-solid battery technology that integrates liquid and solid electrolytes. This innovative design improves safety, increases battery durability and optimizes battery performance.
Quasi-solid batteries
Led by Ryosuke Kido of Doshisha University and TDK Corporation , the team has created a solution that could transform the market for electric vehicle batteries and wireless devices.
The main advance of this battery is the improvement in ionic transfer and thermal stability, achieved through a structure that includes silicon electrodes and NCM811 , a next-generation material. The electrolytes used are non-flammable solutions, which reduces the risks associated with overheating or short circuits.
Tests on the new battery demonstrated excellent charge and discharge capabilities, with minimal internal resistance and high thermal stability, even under extreme conditions. This makes the battery an attractive option for deployment in next-generation electric vehicles and devices such as drones, which require a reliable and safe power source.
As the world moves towards carbon neutrality, the demand for cleaner and safer energy solutions continues to grow. This new quasi-solid battery represents an important step in the development of more efficient technologies for the future of electric transportation and consumer devices.
