SOLID-STATE BATTERY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17905205 titled 'SOLID-STATE BATTERY
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a solid-state battery design that aims to prevent short circuiting when a high voltage is applied to a unit battery. The battery consists of multiple unit batteries arranged in series, with each unit battery containing a cathode current collector, cathode layer, solid electrolyte layer, anode layer, and anode current collector. The total voltage of the battery is at least 30V at a state of charge (SOC) of 100%. The cathode layer of the unit battery includes a first halide solid electrolyte.
- The solid-state battery is designed to prevent short circuiting even under high voltage conditions.
- Multiple unit batteries are connected in series to achieve a total voltage of at least 30V at 100% SOC.
- The cathode layer of the unit battery includes a first halide solid electrolyte.
Potential Applications
- Electric vehicles: The solid-state battery design could be used in electric vehicles to provide a safer and more efficient energy storage solution.
- Portable electronics: The technology could be applied to smartphones, laptops, and other portable devices to enhance battery performance and safety.
- Renewable energy storage: Solid-state batteries could be used to store energy from renewable sources such as solar and wind power, improving grid stability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Problems Solved
- Short circuit prevention: The design of the solid-state battery aims to suppress short circuiting even under high voltage conditions, improving safety and reliability.
- Enhanced voltage capacity: By connecting multiple unit batteries in series, the total voltage of the battery is increased, allowing for higher voltage applications.
