Samsung announced on March 14 that it has broken ground on a 6,500-square-meter all-solid-state battery test line at the site of its research facility in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do. The company named it “S-Line,” where S stands for “Solid,” “Sole,” and “Samsung SDI.”

Samsung SDI plans to introduce pure battery electrode plates, solid electrolyte processing equipment and battery assembly equipment at the S-Line. So far, the company has made one or two prototypes in the lab. When the S-Line is completed, large-scale pilot production will be possible.

Tout batri solid-eta gen elektwolit solid, kidonk gen ti risk pou dife. Pandan ke yo gen yon dansite enèji segondè, batri solid-eta yo tou kwè yo dwe yon chanje jwèt.

Samsung SDI is developing a solid-state battery with a sulfide-based electrolyte. Compared with polymer oxide-based electrolytes, this electrolyte has advantages in terms of scale-up of production and charging speed. Samsung SDI has obtained the design and patent of the sulfide electrolyte material and has entered the technology verification stage.

“Konstriksyon liy tès la vle di ke Samsung SDI te simonte difikilte teknik pwodiksyon an mas nan tout eta solid pil nan yon sèten limit,” yon sous endistri te di.

Pi gwo obstak ki rete kounye a se teknoloji pou asire chaje pi vit nan chanm ak tanperati ki ba. Konduktivite iyonik elektwolit solid pi ba pase elektwolit likid, kidonk pousantaj chaj-egzeyat batri solid-eta pi ba pase pil konvansyonèl yo.

Liy pilòt la pral pote Samsung SDI pi pre pwodiksyon an mas nan tout-eta solid pil pase konpetitè li yo. LG Energy Solution ak SK On ap devlope teknoloji batri tout eta solid ak objektif pou yo kòmanse pwodiksyon an mas alantou 2030.

Among battery startups, Volkswagen-backed QuantumScape plans to start mass production of all-solid-state batteries as early as 2024. Solid Power, which has BMW and Ford as major shareholders, also announced that it will release electric vehicles with solid-state batteries in 2025. SES, backed by Hyundai Motor Co and General Motors (GM), also hopes to commercialize lithium metal batteries by 2025.

Meanwhile, Samsung SDI liquidated its Wuxi-based battery pack company SWBS in late 2021, according to battery industry sources. Samsung SDI previously completed the liquidation of another battery pack company, SCPB, based in Changchun, China, in early 2021. As a result, Samsung SDI has completely withdrawn from the battery pack business in China.

Samsung SDI ap planifye pou konsantre sou opere faktori selil batri nan Tianjin ak Xi’an pa fèmen tout faktori pake batri li yo nan Lachin.
