Research partners, foreign media reported Belgium Imec and Energy Ville developed an Energy density of 400 wh/L solid-state batteries, can be recharged in two hours. The production process also has a liquid electrolyte battery are very similar.
the Imec researchers focus on nanoscale electronics, digital and energy technology, and in the framework of EnergyVille formed a team, focusing on sustainable energy and smart energy systems.
they developed together depends on solid nano composite electrolyte and made of lithium iron phosphate lithium metal anode standard positive combination process. Solid electrolyte has up to 10 ms/cm high electrical conductivity, and on the basis of Imec pressure release, with even higher conductivity of potential.
the characteristics of the new material is its can be used as liquid applied by wet chemical coating, only in this way can become more solid. This produced a special close connection between the electrodes and the electrolyte - This is one of the main challenges for solid-state batteries.
it is known that when the development of the energy density of 400 wh/L, the value of Imec has doubled from last year. The goal is to 2024 energy density will increase to 1000 wh/L, can be recharged within 30 minutes.
Imec/EnergyVille said that they are working with searle university, in Genk EnergyVille park solid bag battery production, to improve the material and craft, the purpose is to test the structure of the solid-state batteries.
according to Imec, these batteries can be & other; A slight improvement & throughout; The lithium ion battery assembly in production line. If wet cell facilities can also be used in solid-state batteries, do not need a lot more investment in new production facilities.
“ New battery prove our breakthrough can be integrated in the high performance battery electrolyte, & throughout; Imec/EnergyVille scientific director Philippe Vereecken said. “ The test facilities allow us to take the next step, through the use of similar to wet battery manufacturing technology, extending the battery breakthrough to industrial related process and format. ”
for the upcoming mass production stage, the research center will be a dialogue with the world's major material suppliers and battery manufacturers, to optimize the opportunities to promote the development of technology.
