Samsung’s battery division, like most other big tech companies these days, is working tirelessly on new solid-state battery technology, and according to people familiar with the matter, the company has made great strides lately. . Recently, Xiaomi also confirmed that it is working on solid-state battery technology and is making progress, but QuantumScape is perhaps the most promising manufacturer. It is already working with selected car manufacturers and has provided its partners with prototypes to test with.
Samsung has been working on a prototype oxide-based solid-state battery for over a decade and presumably made a breakthrough recently. But what’s interesting is that two separate divisions will be looking to incorporate the new technology into real products.
Samsung’s Electro-Mechanics department will seek to supply custom-made solid-state batteries for smart and mobile devices. Samsung SDI, on the other hand, will focus on developing a solid-state battery with sulfide electrolytes for the electric vehicle sector.
Solid-state batteries improve energy density, allowing larger capacities to fit in the same volume, but they are also beneficial to a battery’s long-term life. They should usher in a new era in smartphone development and electric vehicle mobility.
