Magnis Resources newly unveiled world's first working solid state battery
prototype
]
2018 has been an amazing year for the progress of new scientific
breakthroughs. We live to witness the major leapfrog of another new battery
technology during our life time since the development of the first lithium
ion battery in 1980. Billions of dollars have been invested by many
companies seeking to be the first to develop a super battery to overcome the
current constraint of limited power storage in our traditional batteries.
The solid state battery technology has been the long awaited break through
in battery technology that is poised to solve 3 main obstacles hampering the
use of electric car, namely, (i) making the range of electric car match the
current petrol/diesel car from a single full tank, (ii) cutting down the
recharging time of 8 hrs to less than 15 mins and (iii) inadequate safety of
the use of current batteries which are prone to fire. Earlier this year,
many experts believed that we are at least a decade away from refining the
solid state battery technology. It is thus quite shocking when Magnis
Resources (a company listed on ASX) announced that they have come up with
the world's first working prototype of a solid state battery on 2nd Oct
2018. Mass production is expected to be deployed by 2nd quarter of 2019.
There were many scientists who had initially poured scorn on the solid state
battery theory as it defies the law of thermodynamics with regard to the law
of conservation of energy. There are in fact other mysterious new scientific
technology breakthrough such as the development of EM Drive propulsion
system to power future spaceship for interstellar travel which violates the
law of Physics (Newtons's 3rd law of motion which states that for every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction).
The successful unveiling of the solid state prototype also means that the
solid state battery technology is commercially viable albeit no one can
properly explain the theory behind the strange phenomenon. Such battery can
also be used in our smart phones. Imagine long lasting power in your smart
phones that can be used for up to 1 week eventually without recharging.
Also, imagine being able to recharge your smart phones in less than 5 mins.
What are solid state batteries and how are they different from traditional
batteries?
This is the latest battery technology that uses both solid electrodes and
solid electrolytes, instead of the liquid or polymer electrolytes found in
lithium ion batteries. Solid state batteries are believed to be capable of
significantly higher energy density to current traditional battery. Solid
state batteries are also able to be recharged at a super fast rate and
expected to be longer cycle life. In addition, as compared to the flammable
liquid electrolytes in traditional battery, a solid state battery uses
materials such as glass or ceramics etc which are safer.

As an example of the capabilities of this technology, the Magnis Resources
C4V solid state battery will be capable of delivering a 70% increase in
range for electric vehicles when compared to other conventional batteries,
thus allowing an electric car with a current 400km range to be able to run
680km on the same single charge.
Impact of solid state battery technology on renewable energy development
The new solid state battery could be the "missing piece" in sustainable
energy development. For too long, wind and solar energy generation are
unreliable due to the inconsistency of wind or solar at all times of the
day. The super batteries can be built into the smart power grid system to
store excess electricity generated from such sources at a particular active
time and then release the supply of energy at any time of its choosing. The
expected tougher durability in terms of the re-use from repeated recharging
of a solid state battery is also expected to bring cost down further.
Impact of new battery technological breakthrough on Oil & Gas Industry
With the ever evolution of new battery technology and development of
sustainable renewable energy, the reliance on fossil fuel is finally broken
and coming to an end. Oil and Gas companies certainly have to prepare for
the inevitable downturn of the whole industry in the next 2 decades. I have
no doubt that this will be a declining industry.
