Solid state battery Hong Kong

What is a solid-state battery?

Solid-state batteries deliver a high level of safety and long life by utilizing solid electrolyte materials instead of liquid electrolytes found in conventional lithium-ion batteries.

Is there a solid-state battery in China?

BAIC New Energy launched a pure electric prototype with a solid-state battery system in July 2020, which is the first public drivable solid-state battery prototype in China.

Who is involved in making solid state batteries?

SK Innovation, Ford’s joint venture battery manufacturing partner, is also working with Solid Power to manufacture solid state batteries. The company previously announced that it would have a pilot production line ready to test by early 2022.

Can solid-state electrolytes improve the performance of lithium-metal batteries?

For media inquiries, please contact: Researchers at the School of Engineering of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have recently developed a new generation of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for lithium-metal batteries (LMBs), that can greatly improve the safety and performance.

Could a new generation of lithium-ion batteries be a workable solution?

A new generation of lithium-ion batteries developed by a team led by Dr Dong-Myeong Shin from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) paves the way for a workable solution.

Are lithium ion batteries safe?

Lithium-ion batteries have been the most commonly used batteries with their state-of-the-art energy storage technology. Currently, commercial battery technology mainly features liquid electrolytes and carbonaceous anodes, which has the drawbacks of safety issues, limited lifetime, and insufficient power density.
