Prepare to phase out and charge new battery technology to double lithium battery capacity

Tencent Digital (compilation: Mi Ke) asks smart phone users who are dissatisfied with what they have. I believe most people think of it as a battery. Now researchers from MIT have brought good news. Solid Energy Systems, a company owned by MIT Energy Labs, said that the new technology can double the battery capacity in the same volume, or guarantee the same capacity. Reduce the volume by half.

The new battery is about 20% thinner than the current traditional lithium battery and is also a solid and liquid electrolyte mixture. In order to prevent reaction with the traditional electrolyte solution, they wrapped a thin layer of solid conductive material on the surface of lithium metal, then chemically reform the traditional electrolyte, reduce its activity under the premise of ensuring the conductivity, and redesign. The battery structure improves the material of the isolation layer between the positive and negative electrodes, so that the lithium metal can not generate an additional chemical reaction with the electrolyte while ensuring the ion carrying amount. While ensuring that charging and safety can be repeated, the battery power has also been doubled.

The current battery technology is ready for commercial production and is likely to be used on smart phones and wearable devices from next year. How are you ready for a new generation of battery technology?
