PHOTO Technology that overturns all calculations. “The autonomy of 1,000 km will become commonplace.” The Chinese announce the air battery
A battery for electric vehicles that has an energy density comparable to gasoline is considered a Holy Grail of the battery industry. However, CATL managed to give hope to car manufacturers with its new Lithium-Air battery.
No less than 12,000 Wh/kg is an energy density almost unimaginable just a few years ago, but now the Chinese at CATL have announced it. The technology is based on the combination of lithium at the anode and oxygen as the cathodic reactant.
Wu Kai, the chief researcher at CATL, who announced at a scientific event in Beijing that the company's sodium-ion batteries will enter mass production this year, made another very important announcement. Wu Kai said the new lithium-air technology will be at the heart of the next global battery race.
