In recent years, a series of incidents involving exploding power banks has drawn widespread attention, prompting growing consumer demand for safer battery technologies. Traditional lithium batteries, which rely on liquid electrolytes, are prone to thermal runaway under conditions such as overcharging, puncture, or exposure to high temperatures—factors that can lead to fires or even explosions.
These risks have pushed the industry to reevaluate alternative solutions. Among the most promising technologies is the solid-state battery.
Unlike conventional batteries, solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes to replace the flammable liquid ones, significantly reducing the risk of combustion. With a more stable structure and superior thermal resilience, solid-state batteries are far less likely to experience thermal runaway—even when subjected to physical impact or high temperatures.
In addition to improved safety, solid-state batteries offer higher energy density and longer life spans, making them an ideal candidate for power-hungry and high-cycle applications such as portable power banks.
Tech and automotive giants including Samsung, Apple, and Toyota are actively investing in the research and commercialization of solid-state battery technology. While current challenges include manufacturing costs and yield rates, continued advancements in production techniques are expected to make solid-state batteries the new standard for mobile and energy storage devices within the next 3 to 5 years.
Driven by both safety and performance, solid-state batteries are not merely an alternative to traditional lithium batteries—they are poised to become the core driving force of the next energy revolution.
