WeLion New Energy and its semi-solid-state batteries
WeLion New Energy is on a quest to make safer, better batteries. The company’s semi-solid-state cells could improve safety and offer greater energy density than lithium-ion batteries to power electric cars, boats, and drones. From the EVs that carry commuters home to the ships that transport goods…
Résumé
Current battery limits
Most batteries today, including those in smartphones and electric vehicles, use lithium-ion technology, which relies on a liquid electrolyte to help lithium ions move between the battery’s electrodes during charging and discharging.
While effective, this liquid is flammable, posing a fire hazard.
Additionally, lithium-ion batteries have a limited energy density, meaning they can only store a certain amount of energy per kilogram of battery weight.
This restricts how far electric vehicles can travel on a single charge.
For example, today’s average lithium-ion battery pack in electric vehicles stores about 200 watt-hours per kilogram (wh/kg), which translates to a typical range of around 400 to 500 kilometers (250 to 310 miles) per charge.
