Semi-solid-state batteries are a type of energy storage technology that combine characteristics of both solid-state and liquid electrolyte batteries. They typically utilize a semi-solid electrolyte, which consists of a gel-like material that facilitates the movement of ions between the anode and cathode, while providing improved safety and stability compared to traditional liquid electrolyte batteries.
These batteries aim to enhance energy density, decrease the risk of leakage, and reduce the potential for thermal runaway, which are common concerns with conventional lithium-ion batteries. The semi-solid structure allows for better ion conduction and can improve overall battery performance by enabling more efficient charge and discharge cycles.
Semi-solid-state batteries are being researched and developed for various applications, including electric vehicles and portable electronics, as they have the potential to offer longer lifespans and higher efficiency than existing battery technologies.
