9/10/2023 0 Comments Murata solid state battery![]() ![]() Toyota Motor Corp is working on an electric car powered by an all-solid-state battery that significantly increases driving range and reduces charging time. The battery will be initially mounted on wearable devices, where safety is the top priority, Murata said, adding that more work needs to be done to increase energy density before launch. The CEO also maintained the firm's 2019 goal of commercializing all-solid-state batteries, a new type of battery that significantly increases safety. "It won't be too late to make decisions after a clear trend emerges in the green-car market," Murata said. He also sees no need to rush into the automotive battery business, which he said is already highly competitive. He said sales expansion will come through focusing on battery efficiency, with the aim of raising the sales volume of each product rather than broadening Murata's product line-up. Half of battery revenue currently comes from smartphone batteries, and the proportion will not change in the coming years, the CEO said. Murata plans to boost battery revenue to 200 billion yen in the year through March 2021, up around 30 percent from current levels, with capital investment of 50 billion yen over the next two to three years. With the way things are going, it will not be long before liquid Lithium chemistry is completely replaced by Solid State electrolytes.The firm's battery business, most of which it acquired from Sony Corp for 17.5 billion yen ($154.8 million) last month, uses gel electrolytes for smartphone batteries, which are less prone to fire than commonly used liquid-type batteries. ![]() ![]() The University of Maryland is also currently working on their own Solid State Lithium-ion battery. The quest for solid-state batteries isn’t stopping with IMEC alone – MIT is in partnership with Samsung, and they have formed a team to work on Solid State batteries and electrolytes. IMEC hopes to achieve the development of a battery with an energy density of 1000Wh/L and charging time of 30 minutes (2C).
