Thanks CTOnews.com netizen soft media new friend 1933769, OC_Formula clue delivery! CTOnews.com November 6 news, according to Etnews reported that Apple is developing the next generation of batteries, the goal is to achieve commercialization in 2025. This battery will use new materials and technologies to greatly improve performance, which is expected to bring revolutionary changes to Apple's mobile products.

According to industry sources, Apple is working on this new battery development project and plans to use it in its own products after 2025. Apple is not only involved in the development of core parts such as positive and negative electrode materials, but also strives to create new batteries that are completely different from existing batteries.

Cathode material is the key material to determine the battery energy density, output, stability and other properties. Apple is studying new cathode materials made from nickel, cobalt, manganese and aluminum to improve battery performance.

In addition, Apple is considering using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as conductive agents to improve the performance of battery materials. The conductive agent is a substance that promotes electron transfer between positive and negative active materials, and CNT is a conductive agent for secondary batteries (also referred to as rechargeable batteries or secondary batteries) that has received much attention in recent years and can achieve excellent performance with a smaller amount.

In terms of negative materials, Apple is working hard to significantly increase the silicon content. At present, the negative electrode material of secondary batteries is mainly graphite. If silicon is used instead of graphite, the battery capacity can be increased and the charge and discharge time can be shortened. However, silicon volume expansion occurs during charging and discharging. Apple seems to have mastered the technology to overcome the swelling problem while using silicon.

Apple's goal is to innovate from materials to create batteries that are not yet commercially available worldwide. According to several industry insiders familiar with Apple's situation,"With the development of technologies such as meta-universe and mixed reality (MR), mobile users 'demand for high-performance batteries is also growing, so Apple has invested a lot of energy from the material development stage in order to improve battery performance. "

CTOnews.com noted that Apple's self-developed battery news came out as early as 2018 through relevant talent recruitment and patent applications. It is reported that Apple hired former executives of Samsung SDI to lead the battery development department and reported plans to use self-developed batteries in Apple cars designed by itself. However, this time the battery is mainly aimed at mobile products, and Apple seems to be working on battery development projects in at least two directions.
