TDK Corp., one of Apple’s battery suppliers. He announced that he had developed a battery material with 100 times higher energy density.
Tokyo Electronics and Chemical Corporation (TDK Corp.)announced that it has managed to develop a material with an energy density of 1,000 Wh/L, which is approximately 100 times that of existing batteries, for its new generation solid-state batteries called CeraCharge. It was stated that the material in question will be used to extend the battery life of devices that use button batteries, such as wireless headphones, hearing aids and smart watches.
TDK’s new material technology uses oxide-based solid electrolyte and lithium alloy anodes. In this way, their batteries become extremely safe and make them suitable for use in devices that come into direct contact with the human body. new technology Compliant with EU battery regulations It is envisaged to replace button batteries, which need to be replaced with rechargeable batteries, and is expected to contribute to reducing environmental impacts.
It may be possible to use AirPods for weeks on a single charge
TDK stated that the new technology has not started mass production yet, but it is aimed to go into mass production as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the new technology not only increases the usage time with a single charge but also provides multi-layer lamination technology. operating temperature range It also aims to expand.
So why is this statement by TDK Corp. important? The Japanese company is currently among Apple’s battery suppliers. Therefore, the battery technology he announced will be released in the future. It can increase the usage time of products such as AirPods and Apple Watch dozens of times with a single charge. For most of us, even a few times more would be enough of an improvement…
