Chinese researchers have successfully predicted lithium metal anode failures with the help of a predictive model. The tool uses electrochemical data from the initial cycles of lithium metal batteries (LMBs) to forecast potential failures. Developed by researchers at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School and the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, the model identifies early indicators…
Huawei has filed a patent detailing a sulfide-based solid-state battery design with energy densities between 180 and 225 Wh/lb, roughly two to three times higher than today’s typical electric vehicle batteries. While the Chinese tech giant does not manufacture its own branded vehicles, it works closely with automakers to integrate in-house advanced technologies into electric…
