Samsung SDI and BMW to collaborate on solid-state battery validation project
Samsung SDI, BMW and US battery technology company Solid Power have signed an agreement to work together on establishing global value chains for all-solid-state batteries across materials, cells and EVs. The collaboration aims to pave the way for the commercialization of all-solid-state battery cells by bringing together their complementary expertise in cell manufacturing, automaking and… Read more »
Operando X-ray tomography reveals silicon-electrolyte interface dynamics in solid-state batteries
Silicon anodes can greatly boost the energy density of all-solid-state batteries, but their large volume changes often cause contact loss with solid electrolytes. Si can store more lithium than graphite, but its volume can expand by as much as 410% during charging, generating mechanical stress that cracks particles and weakens their contact with the solid… Read more »
LEAD unveils high-precision solid-state battery cell stacking machine
LEAD has released of an integrated solid-state battery cutting and stacking machine targeted at addressing the technical challenges of next-generation energy storage manufacturing. The machine is engineered for the specific requirements of solid-solid interface materials used in all-solid-state batteries, which require highly precise and controlled stacking due to their sensitivity and brittle nature. The new… Read more »
Video: Schaeffler’s all-solid-state battery module and other eMobility innovations
At this year’s Battery Show in Detroit, Charged spoke with four of Schaeffler’s subject-matter experts to explore the company’s innovations in electrification and energy storage. The discussion began with Rashid Farahati, Vice President of the Corporate Competence Center for the Americas. Farahati explained that while solid-state batteries promise higher energy density, safety and faster charging,… Read more »
Argonne scientists develop protective coating to boost solid-state battery stability
Researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have developed a method to coat sulfide-based solid electrolytes to improve chemical stability and reduce manufacturing costs. The process uses atomic layer deposition (ALD) to apply a protective layer of aluminum oxide onto the electrolyte particles. This coating improves stability by acting as a shield… Read more »
LEAD delivers dry electrode systems for high-volume solid-state battery lines
LEAD Intelligent Equipment has delivered multiple dry electrode mixing and coating systems to established battery manufacturers, automotive original equipment manufacturers and solid-state battery firms in and outside China. LEAD highlights the system’s capability to adapt to both all-solid-state battery processes and existing liquid electrolyte battery lines, which it says helps customers manage technology transitions and… Read more »
CEA and ProLogium team up to develop recyclable solid-state battery module
Lithium battery developer ProLogium Technology has formed a partnership with French public research organization CEA to develop a solid-state battery module with a Design-for-Disassembly structure. The companies have been collaborating since November 2024 to create a battery system that combines high energy density with a modular, easy-to-dismantle design. This approach aims to enhance the ability… Read more »
Mercedes-Benz EQS with solid-state battery makes 749-mile test drive on a single charge
Solid-state EV batteries are making the transition from the laboratory to real-world testing—this week we’ve seen announcements from QuantumScape, Rimac, and now Mercedes-Benz, which demonstrated its solid-state technology on a test drive from Stuttgart, Germany to Malmö, Sweden. A “lightly modified” Mercedes EQS test vehicle equipped with a lithium-metal solid-state battery completed the 1,205-kilometer (749-mile)… Read more »
