A research team from the University of Texas has developed a new battery technology that is safer and more powerful. According to the server PCWorld is a team led by ninety-four-year-old John Goodenough, who also created the original lithium-ion battery. With the new all-solid-state battery comes several useful properties, such as non-flammability. Thanks to this, they will not experience similar problems with spontaneous combustion, as happened with the Note 7 from Samsung.

The technology uses a solution in the form of a glass electrolyte that eliminates metal particles that bridge the gaps between the positive and negative plates during fast charging. These metal particles are then responsible for battery fires and explosions.

All-solid-state batteries promise faster charging and up to three times the capacity compared to classic lithium-ion batteries. This means that the new batteries can be the same size as lithium-ion batteries, but will have three times the power. And it would only take a few minutes to charge it.

It is not yet known when all-solid-state batteries will appear in devices. This technology, which solves many of the problems associated with current lithium-ion batteries, could be used not only in smartphonesonebut also in electric cars, power banks and the like.
