Donut Lab’s solid-state battery shows fast charging in independent test

The first independent test of Donut Lab’s production-ready solid-state battery, conducted by Finland’s VTT, found it can charging from 0 to 80% in about 9.5 minutes (and roughly 4.5 minutes in another test) with minimal capacity loss, using passive cooling and high C-rates, suggesting charging speeds much faster than traditional lithium‑ion packs; however, the chemistry isn’t disclosed and dendrite-related issues aren’t addressed in this test, so more independent validation is needed.

"Harvard's Game-Changing Solid State Battery Charges in Minutes and Lasts for Decades"

Harvard University researchers have developed a new solid-state battery that can be recharged in 10 minutes and can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times, outperforming other pouch cell batteries. The battery uses micron-sized silicon particles in the anode to prevent the formation of dendrites, allowing for quick plating and stripping and enabling fast recharging. The technology has been licensed to Adden Energy, a Harvard spinoff company, and could be a game-changer for electric vehicles if mass-produced at a lower price than lithium-ion batteries.

"AI-Driven Breakthrough: Microsoft's Discovery of Next-Gen Solid-State Battery Material"

Microsoft's AI team, part of Azure Quantum, used AI models to screen 32 million virtual electrolyte materials and identified a breakthrough solid-state battery that uses abundant sodium instead of rare and expensive lithium, potentially reducing EV battery costs by 70%. The AI-accelerated process led to the discovery of 18 top candidates, which were further narrowed down to one viable cell prototype in collaboration with the US Energy Department's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Tesla's CEO Elon Musk expressed interest in the potential of the solid-state battery, impressed by the innovative AI-driven approach.

"Rapid-Charging Solid State Battery Revolutionizes Energy Storage"

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a new lithium metal battery that can be charged and discharged at least 6,000 times, lasting for thousands of cycles and recharging in minutes. The battery design utilizes micron-sized silicon particles in the anode to constrict the lithiation reaction and facilitate homogeneous plating of a thick layer of lithium metal, preventing the formation of dendrites. This breakthrough offers new understanding into the materials used for solid state batteries and paves the way for more practical applications in industrial and commercial settings.

"NASA's Breakthrough: Revolutionary Lithium Replacement Boosts Battery Energy by Double or Triple"

NASA researchers at the Solid-state Architecture Batteries for Enhanced Rechargeability and Safety (SABERS) have developed a high-performing solid-state battery that could potentially power electric aircraft more efficiently than lithium-ion batteries. The new battery design eliminates 30 to 40 percent of the weight of traditional batteries and can double or even triple the energy storage capacity. Solid-state batteries are lighter, safer, and can operate in higher temperatures than lithium-ion batteries. While not yet commercially viable, this battery technology has attracted interest from the U.S. government and the aviation industry as a promising solution to reduce air pollution from air travel.

Toyota's Solid-State Battery Breakthrough: Longer Range, Faster Charging, and Lower Costs

Toyota claims to have made a technological breakthrough in solid-state battery production, which could significantly reduce charging times and increase driving range. The company aims to cut the weight, size, and cost of batteries in half, and believes it can produce a solid-state battery with a range of 745 miles that can charge in 10 minutes or less. However, specific details about the battery's performance and composition are lacking. Toyota still plans to focus on hydrogen fuel cell technology alongside its electric vehicle efforts.

Toyota's Next-Gen EVs Promise Revolutionary Range and Charging Speeds.

Toyota plans to launch a new solid-state battery for electric vehicles (EVs) by 2028 that can store enough energy to go 750 miles before needing to recharge and can be charged in just 10 minutes. The company also plans to launch a more efficient lithium-ion battery in 2026 with a range of about 620 miles. Toyota expects to sell 1.5 million EVs by 2026 and its luxury brand, Lexus, is slated to go fully electric by 2035.
