Samsung has recently announced the groundbreaking of its all-solid-state battery test line at its research institute in yeongtong Gu, a city in Gyeonggi Province, Suwon. The research institute will be made with a covered area of about 6500 square meters. The company is named “S-line.”
THROUGH TRIAL PRODUCTION, Samsung SDI has stated that it hopes to obtain “market-leading solid-state battery research results and manufacturing technology” but has not provided details such as production capacity.
Solid-state batteries provide faster charging, higher voltage, and a longer life cycle. The solid-state electrolytes are non-igneous and guarantee the safe operation of lithium metal batteries. Despite this, widespread adoption is challenging due to issues such as energy and power density, durability, material costs, sensitivity, and stability.
Currently, the biggest challenge for the company is ensuring faster charging at low temperatures and at room temperature. Due to the lower ionic conductivity of solid electrolytes compared to liquid electrolytes, all-solid-state batteries have a lower charge-discharge rate than conventional batteries.
