What is a new battery developed by the creator of lithium-ion battery that can be charged quickly and does not ignite?

ByAndy Armstrong

94-year-old developer known as inventor of lithium-ion batteryJohn GoodouyafMr. research team is able to charge more quickly than traditional lithium ion battery and announced the first all solid state battery without worry of explosion and ignition.

The new type battery released by the research team of Cockrell School of Engineering led by Mr. Good Dinaf at the University of Texas at Austin is an all-solid battery with features such as high volume energy density and fast charging, with low cost and long battery life, It can be used for conventional mobile equipment and electric cars etc. Currently usedLithium ion secondary batteryUses a liquid-sensitive electrolyte that is sensitive to heat, it always has the danger of causing explosion or fire due to overcharging etc. However, an all solid battery using a glass electrolyte instead of a liquid electrolyte , There is no fear of explosion or ignition.

The research team has proven that this new battery has at least three times the energy density of the conventional lithium ion battery. Good-wife said, "Cost, safety, energy density, discharge / charge rate and cycle life are essential elements for the diffusion of battery-powered cars, and we believe that our discovery solves many of today's battery problems It is a comment. It can be safely used at low cost, charging quickly, less frequent recharging, and if a new battery with high energy density is put to practical use, it will be a major advantage of battery-powered automobiles and equipment such as electric cars.


Mr. Goodoinaf and others' new battery is using a glass electrolyte, there is no danger of ignition or explosion due to rapid charging. In addition, since the glass electrolyte battery has high conductivity, it is said to be the first all solid state battery to operate between minus 20 degrees below freezing to 60 degrees. In addition, because the glass electrolyte is made from sodium that can be extracted from seawater and the like, it can be manufactured naturally and at low cost. It also solves the problem of being able to extract metal lithium used as a raw material for lithium-ion batteries being biased towards some regions such as Latin America.

Good results of research by Mr. Goodoinaf et al. Are published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science. The team is planning to continue research on battery development and hopes to cooperate with battery manufacturers in the short term to develop and test electric vehicles and electric storage devices.
