Chinese firm unveils solid-state batteries with 136 Wh/lb energy density
Anhui Anwa New Energy Technology, a Chinese company partly owned by automaker Chery and battery maker Gotion High-Tech, has unveiled its first batch of solid-state battery samples with an energy density of 136 watt-hours per pound. These first-generation batteries meet the new ‘No Fire No Explosion’ safety standard and were produced at Anwa’s factory in China’s Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone. The company employs a fully integrated production line with a five-step dry manufacturing process that reduces energy consumption by 20% and fixed asset investment by 30%, enhancing sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Anwa plans to expand its facility with a 5 GWh solid-state battery R&D center and a fully automated production line to support large-scale manufacturing. Anwa has begun trial production of second-generation solid-state battery packs expected to reach an energy density of approximately 181 watt-hours per pound, a significant improvement over the first generation. The company aims to start mass production of third-generation batteries by

The article features insights from Graeme Purdy, CEO and co-founder of Ilika, on the company’s flagship solid-state battery project, Goliath, which is poised to revolutionize electric vehicle (EV) energy storage. Solid-state batteries offer significant advantages over traditional lithium-ion cells, including higher energy and power density, intrinsic safety, and faster charging. Purdy highlights that these batteries are safer, passing rigorous tests like the nail penetration test without catching fire, which reduces the need for heavy protective engineering and thus lowers vehicle weight and cost while increasing range. Contrary to common perceptions, Purdy asserts that solid-state batteries can be cost-competitive due to cheaper materials and more energy-efficient manufacturing processes, potentially saving thousands on battery pack costs and narrowing the price gap between EVs and internal combustion engine vehicles. Looking ahead, Purdy is optimistic that solid-state batteries will enter low-volume production within a few years and become dominant in the EV market within five years. He acknowledges China’s dominant role in EV

Researchers at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) have developed a novel molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) thin film coating that significantly enhances the lifespan and stability of anode-free all-solid-state batteries (AFASSBs). By applying MoS2 nanosheets onto stainless steel current collectors via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), the team created a cost-effective, scalable alternative to expensive noble metal coatings. This MoS2 layer acts as a sacrificial buffer that reacts with lithium during battery cycling, forming a stable interfacial layer of molybdenum metal and lithium sulfide (Li2S). This dynamic interface improves lithium affinity, prevents dendrite formation, and boosts capacity retention by seven times, enabling stable operation for over 300 hours and tripling battery runtime. The innovation addresses key challenges in AFASSBs, which eliminate the anode to reduce cell volume and increase energy density but suffer from interfacial instability and dendrite growth
