SEMCO Develops Ultra-Compact Solid-State Battery for Wearables

Seoul, South Korea—Samsung Electro-Mechanics (SEMCO) announced on Wednesday that it has developed an ultra-compact all-solid-state battery for wearable devices.

The oxide-based battery boasts an industry-leading energy density of 200 Wh/L, matching that of lithium-ion batteries while being smaller in size.

 SEMCO is currently promoting the product to customers through prototype evaluations.

The new battery utilizes a non-flammable solid electrolyte, enhancing safety and resilience to external shocks. 

Its manufacturing process, similar to Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCC), allows for ultra-compact designs without the wrinkling issues traditional lithium-ion batteries face.

SEMCO has leveraged its MLCC manufacturing expertise to develop the battery. 

In the past three years, the company has filed over 40 international patents related to oxide-based all-solid-state batteries.

The battery's high stability, miniaturization, and design versatility make it particularly suitable for wearable devices. 

SEMCO is prioritizing this application and is currently conducting tests with customers.

Samsung Electro-Mechanics, founded in 1973, produces a range of electronic components, including chip parts, package substrates, and optical components. 

The company plans to expand its business portfolio through product development in AI computing, automotive, and server fields.
