Preface

Why did I write this book?

The story of writing this book started on 1989, when I was a student in the Secondary School of Advanced Students.

It is remarkably like the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) Schools, which are now available in many advanced countries.

STEM is a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — in an interdisciplinary and applied approach. This term is typically used to address an education policy or a curriculum choice in schools. It has implications for workforce development, national security concerns and immigration policy.

There was a weekly class in the library, where each student is free to choose any book and read for 1 hour. The objective of the class is to encourage the students to read subjects other than the educational curriculum.

In the library, while I was looking at the books on the shelves, I noticed huge books, total of 5,000 pages in 5 parts. The books name is The Encyclopedia of Technology, which describes everything around us, from absolute zero to semiconductors, almost every technology, at that time, was explained with colorful illustrations and simple words. I started to read the encyclopedia, and of course, I was not able to finish it in the 1-hour weekly class.

So, I convinced my father to buy the encyclopedia. My father bought all the technology tools for me in the beginning of my life, the first computer and the first technology encyclopedia, and both have a great impact on myself and my career.

I have finished the entire encyclopedia in the same summer vacation of this year, and then I started to see how the universe works and to how to apply that knowledge to everyday problems.

My passion to the technology started mor than 30 years ago and still the journey goes on.

This book is part of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies which is my attempt to give the readers the same amazing experience I had when I was in high school, but instead of 20th century technologies, I am more interested in the 21st century emerging technologies, applications, and industry solutions.

The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies will consist of 365 books, each book will be focused on one single emerging technology. You can read the list of emerging technologies and their categorization by industry in the part of Coming Soon, at the end of the book.

365 books to give the readers the chance to increase their knowledge on one single emerging technology every day within the course of one year period.

Introduction

How did I write this book?

In every book of The Encyclopedia of Emerging Technologies, I am trying to get instant, raw search insights, direct from the minds of the people, trying to answer their questions about the emerging technology.

There are 3 billion Google searches every day, and 20% of those have never been seen before. They are like a direct line to the people thoughts.

Sometimes that’s ‘How do I remove paper jam’. Other times, it is the wrenching fears and secret hankerings they would only ever dare share with Google.

In my pursuit to discover an untapped goldmine of content ideas about Solid State Battery, I use many tools to listen into autocomplete data from search engines like Google, then quickly cranks out every useful phrase and question, the people are asking around the keyword Solid State Battery.

It is a goldmine of people insight, I can use to create fresh, ultra-useful content, products, and services. The kind people, like you, really want.

People searches are the most important dataset ever collected on the human psyche. Therefore, this book is a live product, and constantly updated by more and more answers for new questions about Solid State Battery, asked by people, just like you and me, wondering about this new emerging technology and would like to know more about it.

The approach for writing this book is to get a deeper level of understanding of how people search around Solid State Battery, revealing questions and queries which I would not necessarily think off the top of my head, and answering these questions in super easy and digestible words, and to navigate the book around in a straightforward way.

So, when it comes to writing this book, I have ensured that it is as optimized and targeted as possible. This book purpose is helping the people to further understand and grow their knowledge about Solid State Battery. I am trying to answer people’s questions as closely as possible and showing a lot more.

It is a fantastic, and beautiful way to explore questions and problems that the people have and answer them directly, and add insight, validation, and creativity to the content of the book – even pitches and proposals. The book uncovers rich, less crowded, and sometimes surprising areas of research demand I would not otherwise reach. There is no doubt that, it is expected to increase the knowledge of the potential readers’ minds, after reading the book using this approach.

I have applied a unique approach to make the content of this book always fresh. This approach depends on listening to the people minds, by using the search listening tools. This approach helped me to:

Meet the readers exactly where they are, so I can create relevant content that strikes a chord and drives more understanding to the topic.

Keep my finger firmly on the pulse, so I can get updates when people talk about this emerging technology in new ways, and monitor trends over time.

Uncover hidden treasures of questions need answers about the emerging technology to discover unexpected insights and hidden niches that boost the relevancy of the content and give it a winning edge.

The building block for writing this book include the following:

(1) I have stopped wasting the time on gutfeel and guesswork about the content wanted by the readers, filled the book content with what the people need and said goodbye to the endless content ideas based on speculations.

(2) I have made solid decisions, and taken fewer risks, to get front row seats to what people want to read and want to know — in real time — and use search data to make bold decisions, about which topics to include and which topics to exclude.

(3) I have streamlined my content production to identify content ideas without manually having to sift through individual opinions to save days and even weeks of time.

It is wonderful to help the people to increase their knowledge in a straightforward way by just answering their questions.

I think the approach of writing of this book is unique as it collates, and tracks the important questions being asked by the readers on search engines.

Acknowledgments

Writing a book is harder than I thought and more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. None of this would have been possible without the work completed by prestigious researchers, and I would like to acknowledge their efforts to increase the knowledge of the public about this emerging technology.

Dedication

To the enlightened, the ones who see things differently, and want the world to be better -- they are not fond of the status quo or the existing state. You can disagree with them too much, and you can argue with them even more, but you cannot ignore them, and you cannot underestimate them, because they always change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones or amateur, others see genius and innovators, because the ones who are enlightened enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do, and lead the people to the enlightenment.

Chapter 1: Solid-state battery

Solid-state batteries are a type of battery technology that utilize solid electrodes and a solid electrolyte, as opposed to the liquid or polymer gel electrolytes that are used in lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries. Lithium-ion batteries and lithium polymer batteries use these types of electrolytes.

Although solid electrolytes were initially found in the 19th century, their broad use has been hampered by a number of obstacles, including low energy densities and poor chemical stability. A resurgence of interest in solid-state battery technology may be traced back to developments in the latter decades of the 20th century and the early decades of the 21st century, particularly in the context of electric cars beginning in the 2010s.

Solid-state batteries have the potential to provide answers to a number of issues that are present in liquid Li-ion batteries. These issues include flammability, restricted voltage, unstable creation of the solid-electrolyte interphase, poor cycle performance, and strength.

Michael Faraday made the groundbreaking discovery of the solid electrolytes silver sulfide and lead(II) fluoride between the years 1831 and 1834, which established the groundwork for the field of solid-state ionics.

As we moved into the new century, technological advancements, Researchers in the automotive and transportation sectors, as well as corporations operating in those areas, have witnessed a resurgence in interest in solid-state battery technology.

In 2011, Bolloré launched a fleet of their BlueCar model cars, At the beginning, in conjunction with a carsharing program Autolib, after which it was made available to the general public.

The purpose of the vehicle was to illustrate the breadth of potential applications for the company's electric-powered cells, It was powered by a polymeric electrolyte and a lithium metal polymer (LMP) battery that was rated at 30 kWh, lithium salt is dissolved in a co-polymer to generate this material (polyoxyethylene).

In 2012, Toyota quickly followed suit and started undertaking experimental research into solid-state batteries for uses in the automotive sector in order to maintain its position as a competitive player in the market for electric vehicles (EVs). Simultaneously, Volkswagen started forming strategic alliances with a number of smaller technological businesses that specialized in the technology.

At the Battery Japan event in February 2012, ProLogium Technology made their debut and unveiled their FLCB (FPC Lithium Ceramic) battery. This was a device that merged a solid-state battery with an FPC (flexible printed circuit) subtrate. Since the maximum capacity of the battery is just 25 mAh and it operates at 3.8 V, an electric vehicle would need at least one hundred times as many Murata cells to provide the same amount of power.

In September 2021, Toyota made public their intention to adopt solid-state batteries in some next versions of their automobiles.

Candidate materials for solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) include several types of ceramics, such as lithium orthosilicate, There is the potential for solid-state batteries to be helpful in a variety of applications, including RFIDs, pacemakers, wearable gadgets, and electric cars.

Li-ion, nickel–metal hydride (NiMH), lead–acid, and electric double-layer capacitor are some of the several types of battery technology that may be found in hybrid and plug-in electric vehicles (or ultracapacitor), In August of 2020, Toyota embarked on the process of conducting road tests of their LQ Concept prototype car, which had a solid-state battery. Toyota revealed its plan for the development and delivery of batteries in September 2021. According to this plan, the solid-state battery will be used first in the company's hybrid electric cars in order to take advantage of the qualities it has.

The realization of new wearable gadgets that are more dependable than ever before and smaller than ever before are anticipated to have the features of high energy density and the ability to maintain high performance even in tough settings.

March of the year 2021, Hitachi Zosen Corporation, a company that specializes in manufacturing industrial products, has created a solid-state battery, boasting one of the greatest capacities on the market according to their claims, as well as a discussion of its use in the severe circumstances of the space environment.

They have already reached a consensus with the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) to conduct space tests on their solid-state batteries, and the battery will power camera equipment in Japan's Experiment
