Microvast makes solid-state battery breakthrough: <\/strong>US battery tech firm Microvast has made progress with the development of its True All-Solid-State Battery (ASSB) tech which it says will allow for longer driving ranges, faster charging times, and more EV safety, according to a press release<\/a> published last week. The new tech is reportedly ideal for use in data center backup power systems, electric school buses, and advanced robotics. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, ASSB tech does not rely on electrolytes, which allows for higher voltages \u2014 at least dozens of volts rather than 3.2V to 3.7V per cell \u2014 and a simplified structure. Microvast is now working to reach the pilot production study phase for its technology. <\/p>\n

Japan is making strides of its own: <\/strong>A Japanese research team from Doshisha and TDK Corporation is working on a non-flammable quasi-solid-state lithium-ion battery, according to a statement<\/a> on Monday. The team argues that their design is a safer alternative to all-solid-state batteries, like the one Microvast is working on, by combining liquid and solid electrolytes. ASSB can improve safety but struggles with lithium-ion transfer and interface wear and tear which are problems the team hopes to address. <\/p>\n

China\u2019s not being left behind: <\/strong>Another research team from the South China University of Technology has built a solid electrolyte interphase on the surface of lithium metal anodes, according to findings published in Nature<\/a>. The interphase allows for higher electronic insulation, ionic conductivity, and chemical stability. The team hopes the technology can improve next-generation high-performance lithium batteries. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
