Fitted with the complete value chain for battery production, SK innovation is enhancing its global status through partnerships with automakers. The world's most accomplished battery inventor says he has a new cell aimed at electric cars that delivers double the energy density of existing lithium-ion, and, in a first, actually achieves an increase in capacity when it's charged and discharged. A patent for a new battery that uses glass as a key component submitted by a team headed by John Goodenough, the part winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work as co-inventor of the now ubiquitous lithium-ion battery that is the go-to power source for …

The goal is to develop a microporous polymer matrix with weakly- coordinating-anion system that can be applied to larger, more powerful cells.

But two years earlier, he announced that he … SK innovation researchers hold up EV battery cells. To deliver a battery with 1,000 Wh/L energy density, a lithium metal anode and solid-state electrolyte is viewed as a promising solution.To overcome this hurdle and deliver a next-generation battery to market, SK innovation along with Goodenough and Khani plan to develop a new gel-polymer electrolyte system which will evenly transport lithium-ion while filtering undesired ions from traveling and ultimately suppress dendrite growth. These growths on the surface of the lithium metal can lead to energy loss and malfunctions, causing catastrophic failure of the battery and even safety hazards.To overcome this hurdle and deliver a next-generation battery to market, SK innovation along with Goodenough and Khani plan to develop a new gel-polymer electrolyte system which will evenly transport lithium-ion while filtering undesired ions from traveling and ultimately suppress dendrite growth.

Goodenough's 98SK innovation researchers hold up EV battery cells. These growths on the surface of the lithium metal can lead to energy loss and malfunctions, causing catastrophic failure of the battery and even safety hazards.To overcome this hurdle and deliver a next-generation battery to market, SK innovation along with Goodenough and Khani plan to develop a new gel-polymer electrolyte system which will evenly transport lithium-ion while filtering undesired ions from traveling and ultimately suppress dendrite growth. A critical hurdle is dendrite growth, tiny needle-like projections that can create issues with the battery. However, it has limitations for increasing its energy density, which is necessary to extend the driving ranges of EVs between charges as well as create smaller, lighter batteries. Prof. Yunhui Huang (Huazhong University of Science and Technology), Prof. Arumugam Manthiram (University of Texas at Austin), and Editor Dr. John Uhlrich hosted the symposium. "Together with SK innovation, I hope we can open the next-generation battery era," said Goodenough. "Goodenough and Dr. Hadi Khani at The University of Texas at Austin aim to develop unique gel-polymer electrolyte for a lithium metal battery with the goal of providing higher energy density and better safety at a competitive cost.

SK innovation has an R&D center and mass production site in South Korea along with production sites in Europe, the United States and China. The goal is to develop a microporous polymer matrix with weakly- coordinating-anion system that can be applied to larger, more powerful cells. In fact, with current lithium-ion chemistry, it is not likely to overcome 800 Wh/L energy density. Dr. Seongjun Lee, Chief Technology Officer of SK innovation, said, "We are delighted to announce that SK innovation and Professor Goodenough's group are jointly preparing for the next-generation battery era. However, it has limitations for increasing its energy density, which is necessary to extend the driving ranges of EVs between charges as well as create smaller, lighter batteries. A critical hurdle is dendrite growth, tiny needle-like projections that can create issues with the battery. He received the award jointly with Oxford DPhil graduate M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino. For more information about SK innovation, please visit: http://eng.skinnovation.com/.
