Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited, or CATL, a well-known name in the electric battery manufacturing industry, has announced a new 500Wh/ kg battery pack, one which it claims could power airplanes. The company made the announcement at the Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition, popularly known as Auto Shanghai.
As per reports, the new battery from CATL is a semi-solid state battery that uses a condensed electrolyte, which has helped it push up its energy density. The company claims that its "condensed" battery features innovations in "ultra-high energy density cathode materials, innovative anode materials, separators as well as manufacturing processes."
Although details of the battery's performance are still under wraps, the company has claimed that it has excellent "charge and discharge performance" and can achieve mass production of the battery in a very short period of time. By the end of the year, an automotive grade of the battery could be well into production, even though we do not know its exact specifications for now.
