Car manufacturers see solid-state batteries as the next generation of electric vehicle battery technology. Solid-state battery technology has great potential-higher safety, longer cruising range, shorter charging time, and ultimately lower achievable cost. Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates that since the current cost of solid-state batteries is still relatively high, the technology will first be applied to high-end electric vehicles in the future, and then gradually extended to more mainstream models after 2030 as the cost decreases.

Engineers in the US have developed a resilient, anode-free sodium battery that they believe could challenge the dominance of lithium-ion batteries.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a silicon-carbon composite material comprising a core, a carbon layer encapsulated on the surface of the core, wherein the core comprises a graphite skeleton, amorphous carbon filled in the graphite skeleton structure, and silicon material uniformly distributed in the amorphous carbon.

As for car batteries, People familiar with the matter say Apple plans to use a unique 'single battery' design that would increase the volume of the single battery in the battery and free up more space inside the battery pack by eliminating the bags and modules that hold the battery material.

Tesla announced a technology that will make their batteries cheaper and more powerful: the new 4680, and their founder Elon Musk previewed the possibility of a fully automatic Tesla vehicle at $25,000 (£19,600) in about three years' time.

The power source is an important support for the continuous operation of the spacecraft in the vast space. In the Chang'e-5 mission, the 811 Institute of the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation undertook the develop
