University of Science and Technology of China Achieves Major Breakthrough in Solid-State Battery Field

Major Breakthrough in Solid-State Battery Technology by USTC

Recently, the team led by Professor Ma Chong from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has achieved a remarkable breakthrough in the field of solid-state batteries. They have successfully developed a novel sulfide solid electrolyte known as Lithium Phosphorus Sulfide (Li7P3S7.5O3.5). This material not only retains the inherent advantages of sulfide solid electrolytes, such as excellent anode compatibility and extremely low density, but also boasts an incredibly low cost of just $14.42 per kilogram, significantly below the $50 per kilogram threshold required for commercialization.

The publication of this achievement indicates that solid-state battery technology may achieve significant breakthroughs in endurance and safety, overcoming the limitations of current battery technologies. With their high energy density and safety, solid-state batteries are considered an ideal choice for electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems. This breakthrough by USTC is expected to accelerate the commercialization of solid-state battery technology, injecting new vitality into the development of the new energy vehicle industry.
