The glass battery is a solid-state battery that uses a glass electrolyte and lithium or sodium metal electrodes. It was invented by John Goodenough and Maria Braga and published in 2016. The battery operates by stripping alkali metal from the anode and re-depositing it at the cathode, offering high energy density and safety due to the solid electrolyte, which prevents dendrite formation and allows for fast charging without metal dendrites.
Quantum glass batteries, which us solid glass electrolytes instead of gel or liquid electrolytes, offer several advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries. These batteries can store significantly more energy in a smaller space, potentially doubling the energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries. This increased energy density allows for faster charging times, with some estimates suggesting that quantum glass batteries can charge up to six times faster than current lithium-ion batteries. Additionally, these batteries are designed to last much longer, with a projected lifespan of 10 years and a total useful life of 150 years. Furthermore, the solid electrolyte used in quantum glass batteries is non-flammable, making them safer and reducing the risk of fires and explosions that can occur with damaged lithium-ion batteries.
The manufacturing process of glass batteries begins with the careful selection and mixing of raw materials, including glass and electrolytes. These materials are combined to create a homogeneous slurry, which is then coated onto the glass substrate. The coated glass is then dried and pressed to increase the energy density of the battery.
Next, the pressed glass is slit and notched to create the positive and negative terminals of the battery cells. The individual layers are then stacked and wound into the desired form factor. The battery cells are then filled with the appropriate electrolyte. Then the batteries are aged at room temperature to allow the electrolyte to permeate the glass thoroughly. Once the aging is complete, the batteries undergo rigorous testing and quality control measures and are packaged and shipped for use in various applications.

production of glass batteries involves the synthesis of glass electrolytes, electrode materials, and the assembly of the battery cells.
1. Synthesis of Glass Electrolyte
The glass electrolyte is a critical component of the glass battery, offering high ionic conductivity and stability. The synthesis process involves:
1.1. Preparation of Raw Materials
The raw materials for the glass electrolyte typically include lithium oxide (Li2O), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and boron oxide (B2O3). These materials are mixed in precise proportions.
1.2. Melting and Quenching
The mixture is melted at high temperatures (about 1000-1500°C) to form a homogeneous molten glass. The molten glass is then rapidly cooled (quenched) to form an amorphous glass structure. The chemical reactions involved are:
Li2CO3 -> Li2O + CO2, SiO2 -> SiO2, and B2O3 -> B2O3
2. Preparation of Electrode Materials
The electrodes in a glass battery typically consist of a lithium metal anode and a composite cathode material. The preparation steps are:
2.1. Synthesis of Cathode Material
Cathode materials can include compounds such as lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), or other lithium metal oxides. For example, the synthesis of LiFePO4 involves: Li2CO3 + Fe2O3 + 3H3PO4 -> 2LiFePO4 + 3H2O + CO2
2.2. Preparation of Anode Material
The anode material is typically lithium metal, which can be obtained through the electrolysis of lithium chloride (LiCl): LiCl -> Li + 0.5Cl2
3. Assembly of Glass Battery Cells
The assembly of glass battery cells involves the following steps:
3.1. Fabrication of Electrodes
The cathode material is mixed with a conductive binder and coated onto a current collector. The lithium metal anode is prepared and placed onto a current collector as well.
3.2. Integration with Glass Electrolyte
The glass electrolyte is placed between the anode and cathode to form the battery cell. The layers are carefully aligned and compressed to ensure good contact.
3.3. Sealing and Encapsulation
The assembled cells are sealed and encapsulated to prevent moisture and air ingress, which could degrade the battery performance.
Glass batteries have several promising applications and drivers that are expected to fuel their growth in the coming years. Electric vehicles are a major application, as glass batteries offer higher energy density, faster charging, and longer cycle life compared to lithium-ion batteries. They can also be made with low-cost sodium instead of lithium. Another key application is storing energy from renewable sources like solar and wind, which can then be used to power homes or electric vehicles. Glass batteries are safer than lithium-ion batteries as they use a solid electrolyte instead of a flammable liquid, preventing the growth of dendrites that can cause fires. The increasing demand for batteries with high energy density, long cycle life, and fast charging capability is a major driver for the glass battery market.
