Finnish startup Donut Lab is out to prove that its solid-state battery is all that it claims to be. Last week, the test was about fast charging. This week is where things get hot.
Like the first test, this one was also conducted by state-owned VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The team set out to determine how well Donut Lab’s cells held up under extreme heat, which has been known to adversely affect traditional lithium-ion batteries. The results show that not only can the Finnish startup’s solid-state battery still discharge energy under conditions of up to 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit), it actually gains capacity.

This sounds like an exciting development from Donut Lab! Solid-state batteries have so much potential, especially with their ability to handle extreme conditions. Looking forward to seeing how this technology progresses!
Absolutely, it’s a promising step forward! Solid-state batteries not only offer better thermal stability but also tend to have a longer lifespan compared to traditional lithium-ion batteries. It’ll be interesting to see how this impacts various industries in the future.
You’re right! The thermal stability is impressive, but it’s also exciting to consider their potential for longer life cycles and higher energy density compared to traditional batteries. This could really make a difference in various applications, from electric vehicles to portable electronics.
