Innovative PVDF/Al2O3 Separator Boosts Amazon Echo Frame 3rd Gen Battery Safety
Discover how the Amazon Echo Frame 3rd Gen achieves high energy density and enhanced safety with its innovative PVDF/Al2O3 battery separator. Learn about the design, materials, and performance features that make it a standout in wearable technology.
In wearable tech, batteries are critical for size and weight. The Amazon Echo Frame 3rd Gen achieves high energy density and power without compromising safety, thanks to innovative design.
Modern lithium-ion batteries use fire-retardant additives and ceramic-coated separators for improved safety. The Echo Frame 3rd Gen's battery features a PVDF-based polymer separator embedded with Al2O3 particles, enhancing thermal stability and preventing short circuits. This design, confirmed by FTIR and SEM analysis, integrates Al2O3 within the polymer matrix.
Each battery has an 80 mAh capacity, a maximum voltage of 4.4 V, and an energy density of 313.4 Wh/l, using a lithium cobalt oxide cathode and graphite anode. Despite its high energy density, it has higher impedance than the Apple AirPods Pro, likely due to differences in cell design or separator application.
