China's leading automotive lithium-ion battery maker, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL) has revealed a new battery named Qilin, or CTP 3.0 battery, that provides electric vehicles with a driving range of over 1,000 km on a single charge.
The battery has a volume utilisation efficiency of 72 percent and an energy density of up to 255 Wh/kg for ternary battery systems, giving it the highest integration level in the world. The battery boasts thermal stability and safety, which makes it compatible with materials of higher energy density in product upgrades.
The product's full-life-cycle reliability and resistance to shock and vibration are improved by the integrated energy unit, which is composed of the cell and a multifunctional elastic interlayer. In extreme circumstances, the cell can be cooled rapidly, preventing abnormal thermal conduction between cells.
CTP technology improves system energy density, simplifies manufacturing and helps reduce costs, by directly integrating cells into packs without modules. Besides, the CTP 3.0 battery features improvements in service life, safety, charging speeds and low-temperature performance.
The charging takes just 10 minutes in fast mode. Qilin batteries are expected to go into mass production and arrive on the market in 2023.
