Solidion Technology Advancement Achieves Full Charges In As Little As 5 minutes
Solidion Technology, a leader in advanced battery technology, has announced a major advancement in battery design, enabling a wide array of lithium batteries to achieve full charges in as little as 5 minutes—without the high costs often associated with such innovations. The business aims to bring this groundbreaking technology to market within the next two to three years.
A persistent obstacle in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has been “range anxiety”—the concern that an EV might run out of battery power mid-trip, especially since recharging generally takes far longer than fueling a traditional gasoline car. This concern is intensified by the longer charging times required at lower temperatures.
In response, Solidion’s engineering team has developed and patented a unique system and method that allows rapid charging of battery cells or packs under any weather condition. This new approach protects the battery, providing a safe operational mode that minimises the risk of thermal runaway.
How Does The System Work?
The system centres around a graphene-based heat spreader that facilitates rapid heating of the battery during the charging process. It also incorporates a cooling component that activates while the battery is powering a device, such as an EV.
This dynamic switching between heating and cooling during charging and discharging improves battery safety and performance. Graphene, with its exceptionally high thermal conductivity (5,300 W/m-K), far outperforms traditional materials like copper, which is both less efficient at 410 W/m-K and significantly heavier.
Who Are Solidion Technology?
Solidion Technology specialises in the production of advanced battery materials and next-generation batteries for applications across land, air, and sea. The company is recognised globally for its innovation in high-capacity anodes and solid-state battery technologies.
Solidion’s batteries promise extended EV range, enhanced safety, cost efficiency, and an environmentally conscious approach by using sulphur and other readily available materials instead of costly nickel and cobalt.
We Recycle Lithium EV Batteries
At Lithium Cycle, we are dedicated to the responsible recycling of lithium EV batteries. By repurposing valuable materials such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, we reduce waste and minimise the need for new raw materials, contributing to a cleaner, circular economy.
Our reuse and recycling process not only helps meet the growing demand for lithium but also supports environmental stewardship by reducing the carbon footprint of battery production. Our team aims to make EV technology more sustainable from production through end-of-life, ensuring that each battery produced can contribute positively to a greener future.
