Xiaomi is striving to create solid-state batteries that can be utilised for mobile devices and, more importantly, electric vehicles, just as the majority of IT companies in today’s market. The huge 1,000 Wh/l energy density was said to be a major advance by the Chinese tech company. That is more than twice what most EVs can deliver in terms of energy density. It currently amounts to roughly 450 Wh/l.
Big Development:
With current lithium batteries, the new technology is expected to address a number of problems. Solid-state batteries not only have a higher energy density but also operate more effectively at low temperatures. Xiaomi asserts that efficiency at -20°C has increased by roughly 20%. The absence of liquid electrolytes makes solid-state cells safer as they don’t blow up when pierced.
The positive electrode was covered with solid electrolyte ceramics by the engineers to increase durability even more.
In order to test the prototype, Xiaomi used a Xiaomi 13 smartphone, which allowed them to fit a 6,000 mAh battery inside the compact device.
The true problem with cutting-edge technology, as is typically the case, is making such batteries commercially feasible and scalable. While Xiaomi still has miles to go, if it continues on its current path, we may very well see an electric vehicle (EV) produced by Xiaomi that is powered by a solid-state battery in the years to come.
