Graphene successor: Black phosphorus has amazing energy density, Huawei challenges the next generation of battery technology

Black phosphorus, the name itself reveals its extraordinary charm. Its energy density is seven times that of graphite. Even the highly anticipated graphene has not been mass-produced due to its process difficulty. However, black phosphorus is like a lion, showing its powerful potential. Can Huawei tame this beast and apply it to actual production?

Despite the power of black phosphorus, we know that there are still some challenges with this material. Its lifespan is relatively short, and temperature control issues need to be solved. However, if we can successfully overcome these challenges and integrate the energy density of black phosphorus into solid-state battery technology, its prospects will be extremely broad.

Just as the success of hybrid rice is achieved by combining a variety with good taste but low yield with a variety with poor taste but high yield, a new variety with both delicious taste and high yield is finally cultivated. The manufacture of aluminum alloy is also to melt two metals in a certain proportion and fully fuse them, and finally cool them to obtain a new composite material that is both light and strong. Fruit grafting technology is also to achieve a good harvest of fruits by grafting high-quality varieties. These new technologies developed through research and development and artificial cultivation not only improve the quality of products, but also increase yields.

So, if we can combine the energy density of black phosphorus with solid-state battery technology, taking advantage of its strengths and avoiding its weaknesses, retaining its excellent performance while overcoming its shortcomings, we will be able to create a super battery with a pure electric range of 1,000 kilometers, while solving the thermal runaway problem and reducing the battery weight. Such a technological breakthrough may seem incredible now, but just as the 5nm process was once considered the limit of technology before it appeared, the possibilities of the future are always beyond our imagination.

With the help of the range-extending engine, we can further increase the range to 2,000 kilometers, which will undoubtedly eclipse traditional fuel vehicles. Although Huawei has made outstanding achievements in the field of communications, its investment in material research should not be underestimated. With more than 120 chemists and a large R&D team, Huawei has shown firm confidence in conquering solid-state battery technology.

The application of this technology is not limited to the field of electric vehicles. It can also be applied to smart devices such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets, which also have an urgent need for battery life. Therefore, if Huawei can successfully master this technology, its application prospects will be extremely broad, and it will also make Huawei an industry leader in battery life technology.
