Toyota introduces hard-disk batteries in Japan

The lithium ion battery is one of the most rechargeable batteries used in many applications from handheld electronics to hybrid cars and electric cars plug-ins.

However, liquid electrolyte reactive in lithium ion batteries can cause the battery to become unstable. In addition, this type of battery also lost some characteristics when used for a long time.

To overcome this disadvantage, Japanese car maker Toyota has in hand a product with stronger power levels and longer storage than conventional lithium ion batteries.

Recently, the company unveiled a prototype battery that uses porcelain coating on positive electrolyte materials making it a hard-shell design: a material made from a chemical reaction between the substrates. The boundary of positive and positive electrolytes increases the resistance.

The average voltage of this battery is 14.4V. This prototype battery can safely be used at temperatures above 100 degrees Celsius, a temperature that will make the liquid electrolyte in the current li-ion batteries boil.

In addition, all solid batteries are safer than organic electrolyte batteries that will burn in high temperatures and because they contain no liquid, the packaging is simpler.
