Ever since Sony released the first commercial Lithium Ion Battery in 1991, the technology has been great, powering our mobile computers, cordless power tools, and electric vehicles.
But we will need even better battery technology in order to power the innovations of the future!
A future filled with robots, electric VTOLs, and electric vehicles with ranges comparable to their petrol counterparts.
There are many researchers around the world developing cutting-edge battery technology, and the technology I am most excited about is Solid State Battery Technology.
Research for Solid State Battery Technology has exploded recently and there is a global race to develop and commercialize it.
But before we get into all of that, since Solid State Batteries are similar to Lithium Ion batteries, let’s quickly cover how a lithium-ion battery works.
First, solid state batteries will be safer.
You see, the liquid electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries are flammable, and the batteries creates a lot of heat.
On top of being safer, solid-state batteries will perform better than batteries today.
