Tsinghua team develops super-long cycle life solid-state battery
The all-solid-state battery cells show excellent cycling performance, with 71 percent capacity retention even after 20,000 cycles.
CATL says it has super-fast charging technology that can charge to 80% in five minutes
When CATL announced the Qilin Battery last week, it said the battery could be charged to 80 percent in as little as 10 minutes. The latest battery technology it teased cuts that time even further.
GAC unveils new LFP battery technology, claims energy density increase of up to 20%
The technology enables batteries to achieve fast charging rates of 2C and above, with a lifetime of more than 1.5 million kilometers, GAC said.
CATL working on condensed matter batteries, chairman says
Robin Zeng did not provide more information on this, although he himself has a PhD in condensed matter physics.
CATL unveils Qilin Battery, says it can easily achieve 1,000 km vehicle range
The Qilin Battery will have an energy density of 255 Wh/kg and will be in mass production in 2023, CATL said.
New battery built by Chinese team claims to be able to work in temperatures down to -70°C
The battery has 13 percent to 25 percent higher energy density than conventional lithium-ion batteries, and can be fully charged in 20 minutes.
CATL reportedly ramping up efforts on CTC technology that integrates batteries into vehicle chassis
An executive from Huawei's intelligent vehicle solutions BU has joined CATL to head up the CTC battery-chassis integration business, according to local media.
Chinese team's new research promises higher energy density for lithium batteries
A Chinese team has recently made key advances in the study of high-voltage electrolyte systems that are expected to allow lithium-ion batteries to achieve higher energy densities.
EV battery maker Gotion achieves mass production of cells with ultra-high energy density
Gotion High-tech's ternary cells with high nickel content have an energy density of 302 Wh/kg, meaning we may see more models with NEDC ranges of around 1,000 km.
Expert expects batteries that will make flying cars reality could be available around 2025
Pennsylvania State University Professor Wang Chaoyang believes that commercial cab fleets, rather than privately owned flying cars, are likely to be the first to appear.
