What is a jelly battery?
On December 2, Honeycomb Energy, a battery manufacturer under Great Wall Motors, held a "Battery Day" event. During the event, Honeycomb Energy released the "Jelly Battery".
It is understood that the "jelly battery" is a gel battery based on cobalt-free cathode materials and electrolyte materials. It not only has good conductivity, but also self-healing and flame retardant, which can prevent thermal diffusion without reducing electrical performance. .
Honeycomb Energy said that the "jelly battery" can withstand acupuncture and high-temperature experiments. The results prove that the "jelly battery" can not only endure a high temperature of 150 degrees Celsius, but also can achieve no fire, no smoke, and self-healing.
Due to commercial secrecy, Honeycomb Energy did not broadcast the experimental video at the battery day site.
In fact, regarding the comprehensive experiment of lithium-ion batteries, the first is that the blade battery climbed the "Mount Everest" for battery testing in March this year. BYD directly showed the acupuncture experiment of the blade battery to the public; later, the Ningde era also The video of their battery pack experiment, which only emits smoke and does not catch fire, is made public.
Recently, a real and complete experiment in which a single cell in a complete battery pack was triggered to cause thermal runaway has been fully demonstrated.
The full technology of batteries is getting better and better. It is not clear what the principle of Honeycomb Energy's commercial secrets is, and it does not rule out the possibility that the current "jelly battery" is just a slogan. The answer will be revealed in the future!
