Energy Density for Electric Vehicles Doubles with New Xiaomi Battery

 

Like many other tech firms, Xiaomi is presently concentrating on creating solid-state batteries for mobile devices and electric vehicles (EVs).

The energy density of 1,000 Wh/l, which is more than twice as high as the current energy density of the majority of EVs at around 450 Wh/l, was recently announced by a Chinese company as a notable achievement.

In addition to having a remarkable energy density, solid-state batteries work better than lithium batteries at low temperatures. These batteries, according to Xiaomi, can increase effectiveness by 20% at -20°C.

These batteries don't explode when punctured, making them safer than their liquid electrolyte cousins.

The researchers increased the battery's longevity by solid electrolyte ceramic coating the positive electrode. Xiaomi tried the prototype on the Xiaomi 13, a compact smartphone that could fit a 6,000 mAh battery.

However, keep in mind that the Xiaomi 13 only has a standard 4,500 mAh lithium polymer battery, and solid-state batteries won't be making an appearance in devices any time soon. Currently, Xiaomi is only testing electric car technology.

The true obstacle for this cutting-edge technology, though, is mass production and economic viability.

Despite the fact that Xiaomi still has a lot of work to do, if it keeps moving forward at its current pace, it's possible that we will soon see an electric vehicle powered by a solid-state battery from Xiaomi.
