“10X faster charging speed”...LG Energy Solution develops new all-solid-state battery technology
A technology has been developed that can increase the charging speed of all-solid-state batteries, the next generation of batteries, by 10 times and improve their safety. Professor Shirley Meng explains how improving the texture of the metals used in batteries can significantly improve performance [Source=LG Energy Solutions]. LG Energy Solutions announced today that a paper on 'The effect of crystal growth orientation (texture) of metals on battery charging speed and safety', researched with professor Shirley Meng of the University of Chicago, a world-renowned expert in all-solid-state battery research, has been published in the prestigious energy journal Joule. LG Energy Solutions has been conducting innovative research on all-solid-state battery technology with the Frontier Research Lab (FRL) research team at the University of Chicago and UC San Diego (UCSD), led by prof. Shirley Meng. By introducing a thin layer of silicon into an all-solid-state battery, Shirley Meng has ...
