Samsung SDI, the unit responsible for creating solid-state batteries, has created a new approach to stacking that allows for more compact packaging of battery components.
Samsung is one of the big brands in the tech industry, owing to its strong presence in various fields including smart TVs, computers, home appliances, and smartphones.
The Korean company is also a market leader in the creation of solid-state batteries, which it is pushing into new markets such as the manufacture of electric vehicles.
“Samsung SDI aspires to be a leader in a solid-state battery market that experts believe will see definite expansion by 2030, which it will accomplish by establishing a 6,500 square meter factory in conjunction with the also Korean company Posco, from which the first “test” solid-state batteries could be produced by the end of this year, with an initial annual production capacity of 24 tons of solid-state batteries solid. »
Samsung, meanwhile, wants to go a step further and hopes to disrupt the smartphone industry by making a battery using the stacking approach that will perform better than the current market standard.
Batteries from electric cars are used in cell phones
Samsung SDI, the unit responsible for creating solid-state batteries, created a new approach to stacking which allows for more compact packaging of battery components while improving capacity by up to 10%. Thus, a 5,000 mAh battery, like the one that equips the Galaxy S22 Ultra, can have a capacity greater than 5,500 mAh.
As these components are used in electric vehicles, their performance has already been widely praised in the automotive sector. The goal is to port them to other devices, such as smartphones.
This would reduce the production costs of the devices and increase their practicality (mobile phones would be lighter).
Samsung has already reserved a line of produced in Korea to carry out this initiative.
