Xiaomi has patented a solid-state EV battery utilizing a layered electrode design to improve ionic conductivity and energy density.
The battery integrates a current collector with multiple electrode layers comprising active materials, conductive agents, binders, and a solid electrolyte made of polymers and metal salts.
Xiaomi claims the technology is compatible with existing lithium battery production methods and prototype pack based on this design shows promising results in terms of range and fast-charging capabilities.
The battery pack is compact with a CTB design boasting 77.8% volume efficiency and a height of 4.7”, potentially benefiting space utilization and weight distribution in electric vehicles.
