AG13 battery

　　CSIRO joins hands with Piotrek to develop next-generation AG13 battery

　　Australia's national science agency CSIRO recently reached a cooperation with Japanese specialty chemicals manufacturer Piotrek. In the next five years, both parties will commercialize solid-state lithium battery technology globally. It is reported that this cooperation will equip products such as portable electronic devices, drones and electric vehicles with next-generation lithium battery technology, and meet the critical safety needs of lithium batteries by preventing battery fires.

　　CSIRO and Piotrek will use the former's unique reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization technology and the latter's ion conductive polymer (ICP) technology to collaborate on the development of next-generation solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries . Generally speaking, the combination of these two technologies can make the current lithium battery technology safer and more efficient. RAFT technology can expand the versatility of different types of batteries and reduce device assembly and manufacturing costs. ICP technology makes the performance of the entire solid-state lithium battery more stable.

　　In addition, CSIRO will use robots with Piotrek to automate the process of manufacturing electrolytes, and will license other companies to use the new electrolyte formula. Currently, the main components of most lithium batteries on the market are electrolytes and separators in addition to positive and negative electrode materials. The special combination of these materials and structures allows lithium ions to move back and forth in the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, forming charge and discharge effects.

　　However, when the battery is overcharged, it may release too much heat and damage the battery's safety performance. The new electrolyte formula can make battery performance more stable and eliminate the negative possibilities caused by overcharge/over-discharge from the source. According to reports, the next generation of AG13 battery may have twice the energy of current lithium batteries, and their safety performance will also be greatly improved.

　　CSIRO is Australia's largest national science and technology research institution. It mainly improves economic and social benefits for Australia through scientific research. It has more than 35 years of research experience in the development of lithium battery technology. Adam Best, head of CSIRO's battery research department, said that many companies are scrambling to develop AG13 battery, and it is expected that products using AG13 battery will be on the market before 2025.
