The rapid evolution of drone technology has surpassed the limits of what current energy systems can deliver. From aerial photography to industrial inspections, drones now demand longer flight times. Traditional lithium-ion batteries are efficient but have problems like energy capacity, thermal stability and degradation over time. This is where solid-state batteries on drones came as a potential game changer. By replacing the conventional liquid electrolyte with a solid one, these batteries have enhanced performance, safety and a good lifecycle—all crucial factors for the next gen of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Solid-State Batteries Solid-state battery (SSB) is an electrochemical energy storage device and it uses solid electrolyte instead of the liquid or gel-based electrolyte. The solid electrolyte can be made from ceramics, sulfides or polymers, depending on the design and application. Key Components Anode: Normally it is a lithium metal or a high-capacity compos...
