New Battery Technology Enables Electric Vehicles to Travel 2,000 km per Charge

The Chinese company Talent New Energy has recently announced the successful development of the world’s first solid-state lithium battery for electric cars. This battery has a cell capacity of 120Ah and a real energy density of 720 Wh/kg.

This achievement sets a new record for both cell capacity and the highest energy density of a lithium battery. Notably, the energy density of 720 Wh/kg is twice that of the solid-state battery provided by WeLion, significantly increasing the range of Nio electric vehicles up to 1,000 km.

With Talent New Energy’s battery, electric vehicles are expected to travel twice the distance, reaching 2,000 km per charge. If mass-produced, this solid-state battery will undoubtedly revolutionize the electric vehicle industry.

Additionally, Talent has made breakthroughs in several core technologies of solid-state lithium batteries. This includes the use of super-thin synthetic solid oxide electrolytes, high-power cathode and anode materials, as well as a solid-state battery casting process.

The positive electrode of the new battery utilizes a material based on high-capacity lithium-rich manganese with a long cycle life. Meanwhile, the negative electrode uses a material based on a wide-range, super-thin lithium metal that combines high cycle stability with high efficiency.

Talent has also improved the movement of electric charge carriers within the positive electrode by constructing an efficient network for ion and electron transport. The internally developed flexible material layers have also enhanced the overall performance of the battery, addressing concerns about the operating range and safety of traditional lithium-ion batteries in automobiles.

The emergence of solid-state batteries will greatly boost the electric vehicle industry, especially as the demand for new battery technologies continues to rise.
