Samsung has created an oxide-based solid-state battery that is moldable and ideal for wearables and small devices.

To continue advancing in the manufacturing of smaller devices that use a battery, Samsung Electro Mechanics has presented a new one solid state batteryideal for wearables which generally have a tmuch smaller size than a mobile phone. The battery has managed to offer a leading density in this type of batteries, with up to 200Wh/L. This supposes a similar performance to that of one lithium battery like those we usually find in other devices, with a much smaller size.

Another advantage that this solid state battery offers is that it can be manufactured in different wayseven in tiny sizes. This will allow adopt the shape of the battery to the devicesuch as a ring or a stylus. Lithium batteries need room to expand when charged, while this solid-state model remains virtually unchanged, with no need to reserve additional space. Lithium batteries are also prone to wrinkling their layers when reduced in size, a problem that does not exist with this oxide-based battery.

The Samsung battery uses a non-flammable solid electrolyteso also improves safety and resistance to blows. In addition, Samsung has obtained the patents for this new battery, which ssuggests manufacturing and marketing for this new design. It has also been testing and promoting this type of battery with customers, even in portable devices.
