Samsung Electric plans to produce self-developed solid-state batteries for IT devices.

Thank CTOnews.com netizens soft media Xinyou 1933769 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, May 16 (Xinhua) Samsung Motor is developing and manufacturing oxide solid-state batteries for IT devices, according to TheElec. Meanwhile, related company Samsung SDI plans to focus on ceramic sulphide solid-state batteries. The company plans to start operating a battery test line in the second quarter of this year.

To put it simply, solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes in current commercial batteries, and this means that they do not need a diaphragm, which greatly reduces the likelihood of the battery catching fire and increases the energy density of the battery. so that they can be used for a longer time.

CTOnews.com query found that the current research on solid-state batteries in the industry is mainly focused on ceramics (sulfides and oxides) and polyimide types, while some combine these two materials. Sources said that Samsung Motor's research focus is on ceramic oxide types.

According to reports, oxide materials are relatively stable and easy to deal with. Because IT products are mainly portable devices, the company puts its stability first, which means they can be mass produced more easily.
