Battery Research in Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology

Sang-Bok Ma (Samsung Electronics, Republic of Korea)

The importance of EVs (electric vehicles) and ESSs (energy storage systems) for the efficient use of energy is increasing, along with worldwide efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and industrialize green energy. SAIT (Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology) is actively conducting research on next-generation LIB (lithium-ion battery) electrode materials that enable EVs to drive 300 km with a single charge; all-solid-state battery technology for ultimate safety; and multi-scale modeling and simulation, ranging from the atomic to the system level, for the prediction of performance. The institute is also studying Li-air battery technology, which can power an EV for distances greater than 600 km with a single charge; this development is focused on cathode technology, protective films for lithium metal anodes, and electrolytes for energy density innovation, long-term reliability, and safety. For the next-generation of ESS battery technology, SAIT is performing research on magnesium/sodium rechargeable batteries and organic redox flow batteries with low cost and high energy density.

More details about the battery research in SAIT and technical issues of Li-air battery will be presented at the meeting.
