A new generation of lithium batteries has emerged, which is stronger than solid-state batteries and can also be used in flying cars

The innocence of new energy vehicles is really about to change, and the battery life issues that plague countless car companies may be completely solved. The newly launched battery is even more powerful than solid-state batteries, with an energy density four times that of existing lithium batteries. It only requires the size of a coin to release an energy density of 1,200Wh/kg.

If this new type of battery is installed on a new energy vehicle, then all the advantages of fuel vehicles will be lost. It will become the gravedigger of fuel vehicles and completely bury them.

It is precisely because its energy density is so high that it can even be used as a power battery on flying cars. It’s not just ground transportation that has changed, but also air transportation.

It is a pity that this battery concept was proposed by Japan. According to The Paper, professors at Osaka University in Japan have planned to conduct research on lithium-air batteries with the United States and Germany and will put this type of battery into commercial production in 2030.

This news absolutely shocked the global technology circle. Lithium-air batteries have actually been researched by CATL, but there is not much progress so far, and it is currently impossible to commercialize it.

Just in 2023, the Argonne Laboratory in the United States can increase the cycle number of lithium-air batteries to 1,000 times. In addition, its energy density is four times that of lithium batteries, which means that its cruising range is more than four times that of current pure electric vehicles.

This may not be a good thing for our country’s battery industry. Our country’s lithium battery industry has always been the world leader. Foreign countries have long been extremely jealous. Their joint development of lithium-air batteries this time is actually a joint venture between battery manufacturers like CATL. War letter.

In the current market, we really need a brand-new battery. Nature magazine published an article on the outlook for human electric vehicle battery technology in the future. It quoted the analysis of a large number of experts and scholars, believing that the current advantages of lithium batteries in commercial applications are difficult to be overcome. Defeated, but if lithium-air batteries can be commercialized, they will likely replace existing lithium batteries and eventually be used in high-end cars and electric aircraft.
