US research institute accidentally discovered that amorphous lithium is expected to increase the battery life by more than 3 times

Hello, friends of Chejiahao! Today, Xuanche.com brings you the latest news about power batteries. Please click to follow Xuanche.com to learn the latest automotive information as soon as possible.

Recently, I learned from foreign media that a US research institute discovered a new amorphous lithium in the process of studying the charging and discharging of lithium-ion batteries. Although the production process of this form of lithium is extremely difficult, this structure can contribute to stronger material performance and also guide the direction of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries with better performance. If successfully developed, the weight energy density of amorphous lithium batteries is expected to exceed 500Wh/kg, which can increase the range of electric vehicles by more than 3 times.

The development of battery technology has always been the key to determining the endurance of electric vehicles. In recent years, power batteries have basically transitioned from lithium iron phosphate batteries to ternary lithium batteries, and the endurance level has also been greatly improved.

For the entire battery industry, solid-state lithium batteries are undoubtedly the main development direction at present. Solid-state lithium batteries can not only revolutionize battery performance, but also have core advantages such as non-flammable, non-corrosive, non-leakage, and non-volatile, which can effectively avoid the safety hazards of power batteries.

Car Selection’s opinion: Solid-state batteries will be the development direction of the entire power battery industry in the future, and the discovery of amorphous lithium is expected to provide more development possibilities for future battery technology.
