NASA has been studying battery-powered flight for a while as part of its Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety program, and has made significant progress with a newContinue Reading
For some years, Svolt Energy, a branch of China’s Great Wall Motors, has been hard at work developing real solid-state batteries. This week, they became the first company to buildContinue Reading
We already know that a solid-state battery outperforms a battery with liquid or semi-liquid electrolytes. It is less likely to catch fire. It also has a higher energy density, isContinue Reading
Despite the company’s solid-state battery technology potentially being a “game changer” in the plug-in electric vehicle sector, Toyota will not be backing away from hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, company execsContinue Reading
Since its discovery in the early nineteenth century, solid-state technology has been spinning its wheels. It now has a chance to break free, thanks to advances in contemporary materials scienceContinue Reading
Daimler (Mercedes-Benz) and Stellantis have also joined the solid-state EV battery market, by investing in research and development, in partnership with the US firm Factorial Energy, which promises a 20Continue Reading
Researchers at the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium say they have discovered a new material they call LTPS — whose chemical composition is LiTi2(PS4)3 — that has the highestContinue Reading
John Goodenough invented the lithium-ion battery. He has never won the Nobel Prize for creating the basic building block of the technology. Goodenough, who is now 95, continues to pursueContinue Reading
