BatteroTech Mercury Super-charging: Adding a Cross-provincial Range During Coffee Break

Published

on

JIAXING, China, July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “Range anxiety” and “long charging time” have compromised the driving experience of new energy vehicles for a long time, which spurred customer demands to “charge the electric vehicles within a short time”. In answer to such critical pain points, BatteroTech brought forth its Mercury super-charging batteries. A more comfortable driving journey is enabled by its capability to add a “400km range with 10min charging”. To put it simply, you can effortlessly drive your recharged vehicle to another province right after your coffee break.

01 The next-generation Mercury super-charging has emerged as a well-timed solution, adding a “cross-provincial range during a coffee break”

The super-charging battery cell will be a critical battleground for battery manufacturers in 2024. BatteroTech debuted its “Twin-star” battery portfolio designed based on the new materials systems back in 2022, being a four-pronged solution that ensures steady safety, a long driving range, efficient fast charging, and excellent overall performance. 

The updated product of “Twin-star” Super-charging, known as the Mercury Super-charging battery, was creatively launched by BatteroTech in response to diverse market demands. Specifically, it is characterized by 4C super-charging within 10min, more efficient than the previous 15min 3C fast-charging performance. The vehicle can be recharged as fast as gas-filling, balancing a long range with high safety performance, and adding a 400km range with 10-minute charging. The desirable charging experience that “ensures a cross-provincial range within a coffee break” thus unfolds with lasting satisfaction.  

Lithium ions cannot be swiftly inserted and will leach on the anode surface when regular battery cells fast charge. The majority of leached lithium ions become spent, reducing the battery capacity, compromising the cycle life, and posing safety risks. Under low-temperature environments, the lithium-ion conduction capability of such battery cells deteriorates, and the fast-charging efficiency decreases as well.   

To fast charge electric vehicles by settling the technical difficulties, BatteroTech researched and developed technical structures, namely Speedy Lithium-ion Transfer, Lightning-speed Pathway, and Rock Framework, contributing innovative outcomes in multiple materials links.

02 The “Dark horse” product delivers super-charging performance at the industry forefront with all-round innovations under low temperatures

Concerning the anode structure, BatteroTech’s Mercury polycrystalline framework and graphite coated by fast ion conductors added the paths for intercalating lithium ions into the anode smoothly and swiftly. The isomeric pole pieces and clusters of flooded batteries were employed to design correspondent anode pole piece structures based on the lithium-ion concentration levels in different areas of the anode. This helps retain more electrolytes and lithium ions and pave a better way for the speedy migration of lithium ions.

In terms of the cathode structure, core-shell particles and graded particles used by BatteroTech delivered a lean design at the nanoparticle level and reduced the threshold of lithium-ion deintercalation from the cathode. In particular, the energy barrier for lithium-ion deintercalation from the cathode in low-temperature environments was brought down, indirectly elevating the deintercalation abilities of lithium ions.   

Regarding electrolytes, high-throughput film formation and full-domain low viscosity significantly abated the resistance of movement of lithium ions from the cathode to anode and under low-temperature environments in electrolytes and thus enabled their free electrophoresis. Consequently, the Mercury battery cells can be supercharged across all ranges of use temperatures.

Besides, as massive heat is generated by battery cells in fast-charging, the Mercury Lightning-speed Pathway applied the cross-linked grid, cathode carbon coating nanotechnology, low-resistance coating, and two-directional conductive foil to the anode. The optimal pathway of structural parts and current collectors got designed using simulation. As a result, 20% of the spare parts were streamlined and the number of physical transmission paths was reduced, elevating the safety and reliability of battery cells by minimizing impedance and reducing thermal production.

The Rock Framework was researched and developed by BatteroTech to further guarantee the safety of Mercury battery cells. The coating separator of high safety, the high resistance insulation layer, and high-impedance protective films of welding imprints were used in an integrated manner. This can forestall the generation of burrs in the process and any internal short-circuits caused by the burrs piercing through the separator, making the batteries safer and more reliable on a full scale.   

BatteroTech highlights balancing product performance with manufacturing costs by introducing cooled system products at the bottom of the super-charging battery and on the battery side surface. On the system front, such super-charging thermal management technology features higher cost-effectiveness. The Mercury super-charging technology keeps the highest cell temperature during charging within 45℃ under normal temperatures, shielding the battery cycle life. Its efficiency can rival that of the large-surface cell cooling technology. Additionally, the volume integration efficiency of the battery system has increased by 5%, while the costs of thermal management and system parts have been cut by 5%, showcasing a higher mechanical strength and reliability.

BatteroTech pioneered in charging the vehicle to 80%SOC within 10min and keeping a 20-80%SOC for the vehicle within 30min charging under the -20℃ low-temperature environments, pacesetting the new energy industry with its innovative technologies. Drivers can thus be reassured when driving their electric vehicles under low-temperature and even extremely cold circumstances. Meanwhile, the riding experience for both drivers and passengers is fully elevated.

Drivers can now wait for a shorter time when charging their vehicles with lithium iron phosphate batteries whose long charging time as the pain point is settled and edges of superior safety, low cost, and long cycle life are harvested. Electric power and the well-being of the driver are recharged at the same time during a coffee break, preparing for the next journey with ease.  

03 Multifaceted Strengths Unveil the Fast-charging Trend

Battery manufacturers can grow more prudently with premium and stable supplies of lithium resources. Therefore, it is worth noting that BatteroTech enjoys the dual strength of source and cost in raw materials as a subsidiary of Tsingshan Industry.

Fueled by the synergy of demand and production capacity, BatteroTech will conclude its Phase-III 45GWh production line in 2024 and anticipate delivering a total of 79GWh production capacity. Its Mercury 4C fast-charging battery will be put into mass production by the end of 2024 by the actual capacity release pace.

“Coffee break” fast-charging marks the brand-new trend of adding a 400km range with 10min charging. New energy vehicle drivers will be no longer held back by “range anxiety” and can access the freedom of mobility once predominated by conventional gasoline cars. The emergence of BatteroTech Mercury Super-charging technology presents new business opportunities for the new energy vehicle sector. More importantly, it breathes refreshing power into the sustainable growth of global green energies.

MEMS Drive: Paving the Way for Super-High Image Resolution

Published

on

By

TAIPEI, Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Fabless chip firm MEMS Drive Hong Kong Ltd manufactures cutting-edge MEMS actuators targeted at mobile imaging in portable electronics. The company uses its proprietary MEMS design and process to allow CMOS sensors to achieve swift and precise ‘SensorShift’ and is the first semiconductor company to implement 5-axis stabilization in mobile cameras.

“With edge computing capabilities steadily advancing, MEMS Drive utilizes precise movement matching algorithms and artificial intelligence [AI] to derive multiple image-enhancing features besides just stabilization, such as super-resolution and improving identification capabilities,” says Colin Kwan, CEO and President of MEMS Drive during an interview with EE Times Asia. “MEMS SensorShift-driven image sensors overturn traditional voice coil motors [VCMs], and could be applied to mobile phones, sports cameras, wearable tech, surveillance, autonomous vehicles, robotic vision and other products, bringing unlimited possibilities to the future of imaging systems.”

It is for these reasons that the company won an Innovation Award and Best Sensor of the Year award for its piezo technology-enabled autofocus actuator and optical image stabilizer (OIS) actuator at EE Awards Asia 2024. Now in its fourth year, EE Awards Asia honors some of the best products, companies, and leaders making a difference every day in Asia’s electronics industry.

The MEMS autofocus (AF) actuator is a piezoelectric multi-morphic thin film actuator that can move at Z-axis and tip-tilt directions to achieve a 3-axis compensation. The MEMS devices are designed to be based on standard silicon fabrication processes, thereby enabling good scalability and ease of handling, testing, and packaging.

According to Colin, this sensor-based technology offers multiple advantages. “It provides 3-axis image adjustments as compared to 1-axis counterparts on lens-based AF systems; it also moves three times faster and 10 times more precise by detecting positions of less than a pixel, compared to 3-5µm on lens-based AF,” he explains. “And finally, by not using a motor to move the lens around, it consumes up to 50 times less power and avoids heating problems that could affect the image’s quality.”

Meanwhile, its OIS, known as SensorShift, is said to be the world’s smallest MEMS OIS actuator. It provides a 5-axis OIS solution to improve clarity and achieve stable and precise image.

“All vibrations in pitch, yaw, roll, translational X, and translational Y can be compensated with a single MEMS chip,” says Colin. “Due to its high precision and fast response in active movement, we can achieve another application called super resolution. By shifting the imager 1 pixel or half a pixel in different directions, capturing the image at each position, and then merging and processing those images, we can get a 4X or even higher-resolution image.”

Colin notes that compared to traditional lens-based OIS, MEMS Drive’s MEMS OIS is a sensor shift solution that provides superior stabilization performance with multiple advantages, including a 10ms fast response, just 4mW of power consumption, sub-pixel precision, and high image resolution in low light and video without blur.

“Powered by our patented electrical conductive flexure [ECF] technology, the MEMS Drive actuator provides consistent, durable performance,” says Colin. “With over 2.5 billion test cycles completed in continuous operation, these innovations are crucial for ensuring the highest standards in automotive applications and safety.”

MEMS Drive’s technology is suitable for smartphones, automotive, wearable technologies such as AR/VR camera systems, sports cameras, smart city applications, and robotic vision.

In this video interview, Colin also talks about his outlook for the semiconductor and electronics manufacturing industry over the next year, upcoming challenges amid the increasingly complex designs and architectures, and the new opportunities in the market.

By

NEW YORK, Dec. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Plume Network is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Maseer, an Abu Dhabi based tokenization platform, to bring $200M in Carbon Allowances exclusively on-chain to Plume. Built on Plume’s Real-World Asset Finance (RWAfi) ecosystem, Maseer will offer a tokenized solution to one of the fastest-growing alternative asset classes: compliance carbon.

Empowering Climate Action Through Compliance Carbon Tokenization

Compliance carbon has been one of the fastest growing alternative asset classes given increased regulatory and business scrutiny on emissions. The S&P Global Carbon Credit Index, which tracks the most liquid segment of the tradable carbon credit futures markets, has seen a 15.68% annualized return over the past five years. The value of these markets reached nearly one trillion USD in 2023.

The partnership with Plume Network allows Maseer to bring fully collateralized carbon products on-chain, where they will be fully compatible with Web3’s potent DeFi sector. DeFi integration vastly enhances compliance carbon markets with superior liquidity solutions and greater access to a global body of investors, broader market demand, and new yield sources.

“We are excited to partner with Plume to bring carbon allowances on chain. Plume is uniquely positioned to bring this vision to fruition because they are the only chain purpose built for RWAs. They’ve raised the bar with their tokenization engine, infrastructure tooling, and ecosystem network effects. We believe Plume is on the bleeding edge of on-chain adoption of RWAs,” said Bradley Allgood, CEO of Maseer.

“Energy transition is an asset category that we have been increasingly focused on at Plume because of growing demand for climate action, both from a government and corporate sustainability perspective. Volumes for the global carbon credit market are forecasted to grow at a 39% CAGR from 2024 to 2033,” said Teddy Pornprinya, Chief Business Officer and Co-Founder at Plume Network.

What are carbon allowances?

Compliance carbon allowances trade under cap-and-trade programs known as Emissions Trading Systems (ETS). These systems create transparent, liquid markets that are government-mandated and regulated. As of April 1, 2024, approximately 18 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions are covered by emissions trading systems (ETS). Carbon allowances are distinct from project-based carbon offsets and offer a market-based approach to regulating a region’s emissions, with mandatory participation for specified industries. Carbon allowance supply is managed by government agencies and adjusted primarily through an annually declining cap.
