- A battery company says it has made a breakthrough in “ion conductivity”
- An innovative new electrolyte also works in extreme cold conditions
- The ultra-fast charge would not require megawatt infrastructure
You have probably not heard of 24 m technologies, but that is not going because all the revolutionary battery technologies which end up making their way in electric production vehicles are generally developed by bad laboratory inhabitants which never receive the recognition they deserve.
However, the company is ready to actively shout its latest Eternalyte electrolyte technology, because it claims that it has the potential to load up to four times faster than today’s EV batteries, to play in extreme cold conditions and to open the track to new generation metal lithium batteries which offer more than 1,000 miles of road plans.
These are indeed daring affirmations, but 24m technologies says that its recipe for secret electrolyte (good luck to discover precise details) provides a change in ion conductivity – or the speed at which the ions circulate between the anode and the cathode of a battery.
Currently, a number of brands are growing front with semiconductor batteries technology, which effectively gets a similar result by ridding a battery of liquid electrolytes that can slow down procedures.
But the high ionic conductivity and the large working temperature window of the new generation electrolyte of 24 mcedes with it a much higher load rate (up to four times that of today’s batteries), without the need for costly megawatt charging infrastructure.
Tests have also shown that business innovation mainly retains all the battery capacity at 0 ° C and more than 80% capacity at -40 ° C, which addresses the key problem of the EV beach during the colder winter months.
The company says that Eternalyte is designed for metal lithium batteries, but also works perfectly for silicon and graphite batteries, which covers most of the electric vehicle batteries market today and further.
Battery producers can also integrate technology into existing manufacturing processes, without the need for expensive machines or disruption of supply chains.
Analysis: a solution to the test of the future
Of course, without knowing the exact details of Eternalyte – nor seeing it operate in practice – we must speak 24 m on the figures that have repercussions, but everything seems promising.
The company produces solutions for the type of batteries that we see in vehicles today, as well as for EV technology that we will see in the next ten years.
With an ion conductivity rate which is three to five times faster than today’s lithium-ion batteries, any consumption technology product equipped with Eternalyte technology could theoretically invoice at much faster rates than we see today, all without needing to change the load infrastructure considerably.
In addition, the improved operational window means that electric vehicles would not suddenly see a 25% drop in battery capacity when ice begins to form on windshields and performance could be maintained in parts of the world that suffer from extreme heat.
Car manufacturers are often confused on the details of their suppliers, but if we suddenly see a rapid reduction in EV charging times, improved and better performance in extreme conditions, we could have 24 -meter technologies to thank.
