TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Formosa Smart Energy partnered with Ming Chi University of Technology’s battery research center and developed an all-solid-state lithium battery prototype.
The new battery technology has been granted 19 international patents. Formosa Smart Energy General Manager Liu Hui-chi (劉慧啟) said the two agencies also developed a method to reduce interfacial resistance between the electrode and the solid-state electrolyte, a major challenge in solid-state battery innovation, per CNA.
Company Chair Sandy Wang (王瑞瑜) said the batteries offer advantages, including high energy density, extended driving range, and enhanced safety. She highlighted that the technology significantly reduces the risk of battery self-ignition or explosion, making it well-suited for EVs.
Wang explained the batteries utilize solid electrolyte technology, which replaces the liquid electrolyte and separator in traditional lithium-ion…
