Although we have no clear idea when CATL''s latest battery breakthrough will be commercially available, it makes sense that Tesla''s Chinese-made Model 3 could be among the first to receive it
Imec, a leading research and innovation center, has announced a major breakthrough in battery technology. Working alongside 13 European partners in the H2020 SOLiDIFY project, imec has developed a lithium-metal solid-state battery with an energy density of 1070 watt-hours per liter (Wh/L). This is a significant improvement over today''s standard

As battery work took off in China, Yang was facing more financial trouble in the U.S. So he made a decision that would again keep the technology from staying in the U.S. The EU has strict rules about where companies manufacture products. In 2021, Yang transferred the battery license to a European company based in the Netherlands. The company
The only problem: If you make one the same way you make current batteries, it breaks down almost completely after just one or two charge cycles. Most batteries produced today go into electric vehicles, not consumer
Electric vehicle (EV) battery technology is at the forefront of the shift towards sustainable transportation. However, maximising the environmental and economic benefits of electric vehicles depends on advances in battery life cycle management. This comprehensive review analyses trends, techniques, and challenges across EV battery development, capacity

In the race for fast-charging, energy-dense lithium metal batteries, scientists discovered why the promising solid electrolyte version has not performed as hoped.
Taxpayers spent $15 million on research to build a breakthrough battery. Then the U.S. government gave it to China.
The good news is the technology is becoming increasingly economical. Battery costs have fallen drastically, dropping 90% since 2010, and they''re not done yet. According to the IEA report
Global economic impact of battery technology. The global battery technology market is driven by the increased use of electric and hybrid vehicles, growing global interest in consumer electronics, and stricter government regulations on emissions. The market in 2020 was estimated at just over USD 90 billion USD. It is expected to grow at a CAGR

TDK, which was founded in 1935 and became a household name as a top cassette tape brand in the 1960s and 1970s, has lengthy experience in battery materials and technology. It has 50 to 60 percent
6 天之前· Making a viable and practical solid barrier, however, has been extremely difficult. Not only is lithium metal highly reactive, requiring the barrier to be exceptionally stable, but the solid material must also function as the battery''s electrolyte, conducting lithium easily back and forth during charging and discharging. But solid barriers
Even Elon Musk and Tesla, known for their breakthrough innovations, have only made breakthroughs in li on cell management, and have not made progress in the materials and technology of the li on cell themselves, and still use traditional Panasonic batteries lithium. In the field of mobile phones, it is more special. The current trend is thin
2 天之前· Solid-state batteries have long been regarded as a potential game-changer for EVs. Toyota stated that the company made a breakthrough in its efforts to improve the durability of this technology. Toyota has moved its focus to bringing solid-state batteries into mass production and ready for commercial use by 2027 or 2028.

Many companies are continuing to do the hard work of improving existing battery technologies, though they tend not to claim their technology is a “breakthrough,” since their work leads to small improvements in performance.
While countless breakthroughs have been announced over the last decade, time and again these advances failed to translate into commercial batteries. One difficult thing about developing better batteries is that the technology is still poorly understood.
The good news is the technology is becoming increasingly economical. Battery costs have fallen drastically, dropping 90% since 2010, and they’re not done yet. According to the IEA report, battery costs could fall an additional 40% by the end of this decade.
One difficult thing about developing better batteries is that the technology is still poorly understood. Changing one part of a battery—say, by introducing a new electrode—can produce unforeseen problems, some of which can’t be detected without years of testing.
Batteries can unlock other energy technologies, and they’re starting to make their mark on the grid. This article is from The Spark, MIT Technology Review ’s weekly climate newsletter.
