A solid-state battery cell is a type of battery technology that uses a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid or gel electrolyte, which is common in traditional lithium-ion batteries. In this design, the anode and cathode are separated by a solid material that conducts ions, allowing for the flow of electric charge. Solid-state batteries offer several advantages, such as improved safety, as they reduce the risk of leaks and fires associated with liquid electrolytes, as well as potentially higher energy densities, which can lead to longer battery life and better performance. Additionally, they can operate in a wider range of temperatures and may have a longer lifespan due to reduced degradation over time. Solid-state battery technology is being researched for applications in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and energy storage systems.
In a major shift for the electric mobility industry, Chinese solid-state battery developer, Tailan New Energy, has revealed its latest prototype cell with unprecedented energy density. The vehicle-grade all-solid-state lithium…
