Industrialization of Solid State Battery Technology -Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment
In July 2013, the United States Patent and Trademark Office announced a patent related to solid-state battery charging technology of Apple. Solid state battery belongs to low power density and high energy density battery. Toyota is currently focusing on utilizing the high energy density characteristics of solid state batteries, and intends to increase the battery life by 3-4 times, and is ready to apply it to the 2020 model. Apple, on the other hand, is interested in the low power density of solid-state batteries and intends to use this battery technology on future iOS devices and wearables.
Solid state batteries are easier to miniaturize and can use thinner designs. For flexible devices or devices with flexible screens, these characteristics of solid state batteries will be of great help to their design. Moreover, the use of solid state batteries can also effectively prevent the electrolyte leakage problem that is easy to occur in traditional batteries. The United States Patent and Trademark Office recently announced another Apple patent related to solid-state battery charging technology, but this is a solid-state battery charging technology for portable devices.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment)
Apple pointed out in its patent documents that the breakthrough and progress in battery technology in recent years have also driven the development of solid-state battery technology. In solid state batteries, electrodes and solid electrolytes are placed on a non-conductive substrate. Compared with lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries, solid electrolyte in solid state batteries occupies less space and is also lighter, so solid state batteries have higher energy density than the above two batteries.
In addition, the safety of solid state batteries is higher than that of lithium ion or lithium polymer batteries. For example, nonflammable solid electrolytes used in solid state batteries can prevent the same problems as liquid electrolytes, including leakage, expansion or fire. Compared with solid-state batteries, they can naturally enhance the safety, reliability and battery life of portable electronic devices, and the body design can also have more possibilities.
Apple introduced in the patent document that they will design a system for the solid-state battery in portable electronic devices to manage the use of solid-state batteries. When portable electronic devices use solid state batteries, the system will run to monitor the temperature of solid state batteries. The system can also adjust the charging according to the battery temperature to increase the capacity or battery life of the solid-state battery.
Apple says its technology can be used on iPhone, iPad, MacBook and iPod. Apple applied for the patent in the first quarter of 2012. I don't know when they will use solid-state batteries on their devices.
At present, compared with the use of solid state batteries in portable devices, the industry seems to pay more attention to the prospect of using such batteries in electric vehicles. For example, not long ago, Bosch just announced their latest achievements in automotive batteries: a solid state lithium-ion battery. It is claimed that with it, the range of electric vehicles can be doubled. So what do you think about the prospect of solid-state batteries in consumer portable electronic devices?
