TDK, one of Apple’s suppliers, has achieved a breakthrough battery technology that that may benefit the company’s wearable products.
TDK, an Apple supplier based in Tokyo, Japan has announced a breakthrough for its solid-state battery technology. The company says it has managed to develop a new material that will allow these batteries to attain “an energy density of 1,000 Wh/L, approximately 100 times greater than the energy density of TDK’s conventional solid-state battery.”
The company was able to achieve this breakthrough by using lithium alloy anodes alongside an oxide-based solid electrolyte. TDK says that “the use of oxide-based solid electrolyte makes batteries extremely safe.
