THE UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK IS CHANGING OPINIONS OF LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE BATTERIES, WITH RESEARCH LED BY WMG SHOWING THAT THE TECHNOLOGY'S INHERENT SAFETY LENDS ITSELF TO MORE TIGHTLY ARRANGED, ENERGY-DENSE AND LESS EXPENSIVE BATTERY PACKS. For much of the automotive industry, solid-state technology is the holy grail in the quest for lightweight batteries that offer a longer life and a higher tolerance of charge-discharge cycles. The technology itself is based on a relatively simple idea: rather than using an aqueous electrolyte solution, it uses a solid electrolyte. A simple concept, but relentless R&D into the technology has yet to bear fruit.
