Solid-State Battery Technology: A Journey through Development and Achievements in the Past & Outlook on Future Market Potentials and Remaining Challenges with Ines Miller from P3. Increasing demand for more powerful batteries are pushing current Li-ion technology to its limits. Recent developments are attracting high media attention, and cell manufacturers are working on the realization and implementation of the next battery technologies. The presentation will evaluate the market readiness and competitiveness of solid-state batteries in comparison to other next-gen solutions; e.g., high silicon anodes with respect to performance, safety, scalability, and cost aspects. https://lnkd.in/davw7MK #CET4SolidState

🔋 Last week CATL unveiled Shenxing PLUS—the world's first LFP battery that achieves a range above 1,000 kilometers with 4C superfast charging. Drawing on the impressive advancements of LFP cells by industry leaders , it's clear that combining multiple small innovations is essential for reaching such milestones. Among these innovations, carbon-coated Al foil plays a pivotal role, enhancing the overall battery performance by improving conductivity and battery life. Based on our research, CNT-coated Al foil takes this a step further, offering even greater performance enhancements than traditional Carbon Black coated Al foil, especially when looking at cycle life benefits. As shown in the data provided, while Blank Al Foil displays substantial capacity at various discharge rates, the CNT Coated Al Foil demonstrates superior capacity retention, especially at higher rates. This suggests that LFP batteries utilizing CNT-coated Al foil can deliver high energy densities and sustain performance even under the stress of rapid charging and discharging – essential for meeting today's high expectations of LFP cell performance. #LFP #Cathode #Battery #Nanomaterials #BatteryTechnology

Imagine a world without 'range anxiety!' Advano is making that a reality by enhancing Li-ion batteries with its proprietary Silicon integration technology. Silicon can store up to 10 times more lithium ions than its graphite counterpart, offering up to a 50% increase in run time. This means no range anxiety, more EVs, and less CO2. Advano is making this work by solving four key issues that impact the addition of Silicon to batteries: material expansion, cycle life, cost, and drop-in manufacturing scalability. Our team is successfully tackling them all. In addition, Advano's unconventional full-stack approach allows for the battery customization manufacturers require. Advano's innovative work with Silicon is the holy grail for batteries and a beacon of hope in effectively eliminating range anxiety with EV ownership. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Follow as we grow our team and redefine what's possible in battery technology! ++++++ #batterytechnology #electricvehicles #lithiumion ADVANO

Are Silicon Anodes the Key to Mass EV Adoption? https://lnkd.in/eADQbgZJ Maximizing energy density has been one key area of focus in electric vehicle battery development. Optimizations in cell and battery pack designs, alongside the use of higher nickel NMC and NCA cathodes, have led to steady improvement in battery energy density over the past 10-15 years. The energy density limit from current design and material iterations has largely been maximized. However, a promising contender is emerging on the horizon to offer a step-change improvement - silicon. IDTechEx forecast the market for silicon anode material for Li-ion batteries to exceed US$24 billion by 2034.
