Solid-state battery is SMD

It uses a high electrochemical potential cathode made from lithium cobalt pyrophosphate (Li2CoP2O7), which was jointly developed with Fujitsu Labs, to acheive a 3V output.

“While applications using various batteries such as IoT devices and wearable devices expand and progress, the specifications required for batteries are becoming increasingly diverse, and, in particular, there is increasing interest in high energy density and safety performance,” said Fujitsu.

The battery is 4 x 2 x 2mm and has a capacity of 140μAh and density of 26mWh/cm3.

Operation is over -20 to +105℃.

Construction is described as sulphide-free stable sintered oxide.

Applications are proposed in wearables backing-up real-time clocks, sram and microcontrollers – FDK will exhibit samples on its stand at Wearable Expo in Tokyo (16-18 Jan, West Hall 2 W-73).

As the battery can work at high temperatures and in vacuum, industrial use is proposed, as well as in automotive measurement.

Plans are afoot to create a higher capacity version.
