🔋Leading Japanese Manufacturers Team Up For Solid-State Battery Push
Development of solid-state batteries is to be accelerated in Japan through a new government-funded program led by Lithium Ion Battery Technology and Evaluation Center (Libtec).
Japan would like to become a top player in next-generation solid-state technology, but so far no company has begun mass-production of this type of battery.
On the other hand, the conventional lithium-ion batteries with liquid electrolyte escaped the hands of Japanese manufacturers – in 2013 they controlled 70% of the market, while in 2016 it was down to 41%, according to Nikkei.
