Solid-state batteries hold the promise of more energy storage, longer driving ranges and faster charging for next-generation electric vehicles. Here are some of the companies developing these kind of batteries. U.S. startup QuantumScape, which has deals with six automakers including Volkswagen, has developed a semi-solid state cell with no anode that uses lithium metal, a ceramic separator and liquid electrolyte.
The development of solid electrolytes, also known as ion-conductive ceramics, has been intensively researched, driven by the serious safety concerns associated with liquid electrolytes, such as electrolyte leakage and evaporation.
