Check out our latest collaboration with Hanyang University, resulting in a groundbreaking study published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (ACS Publications). Titled “Rationally Designed Li-Ag Alloy with In-Situ-Formed Solid Electrolyte Interphase for All-Solid-State Lithium Batteries,” the study reveals applying the Li (Lithium)-Ag (Silver) anode with SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase) to all-solid-state lithium batteries can bring enhanced stability at room temperature. The Li-Ag anode helps lithium to be distributed uniformly, thus suppressing the generation of dendrites. Moreover, it enables the simultaneous formation of an electrochemically formed SEI layer in a single process, improving process efficiency. With this breakthrough, we are one step closer to bringing dream #batteries into reality. 🔗 Read the study: https://lnkd.in/gGKzBSuU SK온이 상온에서 구동이 가능한 전고체 배터리용 음극 개발에 성공했습니다. 한양대학교와 공동 연구 결과로, 최근 국제 학술지 ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces에 소개됐는데요. 연구 주제는 “전고체 배터리용 리튬-은 합금과 SEI 보호층 형성”입니다🔋 리튬-은 합금은 리튬이 균일하게 이동하도록 해서 덴드라이트 생성을 억제해 주는데요. 이 과정에서 전기화학적으로 SEI (고체 전해질 계면) 보호막을 동시에 형성해 공정 효율성까지 높여준다고 합니다💡 혁신적인 연구를 통해 꿈의 배터리 실현에 한 걸음 더 가까워진 SK온! 🔗 자세한 내용은 여기에서 살펴보세요: https://lnkd.in/gGKzBSuU #SKOn #Battery #EVBattery #allsolidstatebattery

SK On and a research team from the The University of Texas at Austin, led by late Professor John Goodenough and Professor Hadi Khani, co-developed a new type of polymer electrolyte called #SIPE (Single-Ion conducting Polymer Electrolyte) for lithium metal batteries that can operate at room temperature. SIPE has high mechanical durability and thermal stability, which make it suitable for mass production and withstand high temperatures. Applying SIPE to next-generation batteries will help improve charging speed and low-temperature performance. Kim Tae-kyung, Head of the Next-Generation Battery Center at SK On, said: "Following this accomplishment, we expect to accelerate further the development of solid-state batteries utilizing polymer electrolytes. SK On will continue to seize future growth opportunities in the next-generation battery sector with its leading technology in new materials." https://lnkd.in/g4NuQi4t SK온이 텍사스 대학교의 고(故) 굿 이너프 교수 및 그의 제자인 하디 카니 교수 연구팀과 상온에서 구동 가능한 리튬메탈 배터리용 신규 고분자 전해질 ‘SIPE (Single-ion conducting Polymer Electrolyte)’를 개발했습니다. SIPE는 높은 기계적 내구성을 갖춰 대량 생산이 가능하며, 우수한 열 안전성 덕분에 고온에서도 견딜 수 있는데요. SIPE를 차세대 복합계 고체 배터리에 적용하면 충전 속도는 물론 저온 성능을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대됩니다. 김태경 SK온 차세대배터리센터장은 ”이번 연구 성과를 바탕으로 고분자 전해질을 적용한 고체 배터리 개발에 한층 속도를 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다”며 “SK온은 신규 소재 기술 경쟁력을 바탕으로 향후 차세대배터리 분야의 성장 기회를 선점해 나갈 것”이라고 전했습니다. https://lnkd.in/ghW9jRQU #EVbattery #Battery
