A Semi-Solid State Battery is a type of battery that uses a semi-solid electrolyte as opposed to the traditional liquid or fully solid electrolytes found in other battery technologies. This semi-solid electrolyte typically consists of a gel or a mixture that exhibits properties of both solids and liquids, allowing for better ionic conductivity than a solid electrolyte while providing enhanced safety and stability compared to liquid electrolytes. Semi-Solid State Batteries aim to combine the advantages of solid-state batteries, such as higher energy density and reduced flammability, with the easier manufacturing and handling characteristics of conventional lithium-ion batteries. This technology is being investigated for applications in electric vehicles and portable electronics due to its potential for higher performance and improved safety.
Nio, the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, is set to finally release its long-awaited semi-solid state battery on June 1. With a capacity of 150 kWh, this battery pack is not…
