Does Huawei make batteries?

Even though Huawei doesn't manufacture batteries, the company is putting plenty of R&D resources into developing a new solid-state battery tech. The newest patent reveals a battery pack that can go for 1,860 miles away from the plug and fully charge in just five minutes. This is perhaps one of the craziest technologies we've heard so far.

Is Huawei launching a solid-state battery?

Solid-state battery efforts might gain a significant boost from technology giant Huawei. The company patented a solid-state battery with an energy density between 400 Wh/kg and 500 Wh/kg. The battery uses a sulfide-based electrolyte and a lithium-metal anode, promising better ionic conductivity compared to other solid-state battery cells.

Could Huawei's new battery technology make EVs go further?

Huawei has developed solid-state battery tech that could make EVs go further and charger faster. Cells have triple the energy-density of li-ion ones and could theoretically give an 1,800-mile range. Chinese patent application says the new battery pack could be fully recharged in only five minutes.

What ionic conductivity does a Huawei battery use?

The battery uses a sulfide-based electrolyte and a lithium-metal anode, promising better ionic conductivity compared to other solid-state battery cells. Huawei said it doped the sulfide-based electrolyte with nitrogen from cyanide to mitigate interface instability.

Will Huawei's solid-state battery chemistry change EV usability?

Like Toyota, VW, BMW, Stellantis and other big players in the tech and automotive space, Huawei has spent the last few years working on solid state batteries, which most experts agree will bring a step-change in EV usability. And this month Huawei filed a Chinese patent for solid-state battery chemistry that comes with some bold claims.

Could a new battery pack solve a major problem?

Additionally, the company claims that this new battery pack may have solved a major issue that the current battery packs have. In the filed patent, Huawei notes that by doping sulfide electrolytes with nitrogen, the company is developing a battery pack with enhanced electrochemical stability, improved safety and reduced degradation.
