In order to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries 🔋, current research is attempting to further increase the energy density of the cells. The coupling of nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes and silicon-based anodes with a simultaneous increase in the upper limit voltage is considered a promising approach. A team from MEET and Helmholtz Institute Münster at Forschungszentrum Jülich has now succeeded in achieving a significantly improved service life for lithium-ion batteries with silicon-based anodes by combining two electrolyte additives. ⚗ 💬 “The novel additive combination stabilizes the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and protects it from attacks by this acid. The anode is thus protected and survives the strong volume changes of the silicon largely unscathed.” - Philip Niehoff Read more: https://lnkd.in/egsya8Ha

💶 Who will pay for LFP-recycling? ~3 % cell is the gravimetric amount of lithium in a lithium-ion phosphate (LFP) cell. In comparison to metals nickel, manganese and cobalt for NMC cells, the iron-phosphate is less precious, likely requiring gate fees to make recycling economical for 🔄 recyclers.   To make LFP-recycling more economically viable, further research is done on the pyro- and hydromettalurgical recycling pathways. Interesting to note is that the innovation challenges arise AROUND the core process of the recycling byproducts. Tune for Prof. Friedrich of IME, RWTH Aachen University, giving insights on the current achievements and challenges in Part II/III.   👉 And if you find this content valuable, please 👍 like and 📣 share to support us.   Let's E-Mobilize the Future - together   Thank you Prof. Prof. Friedrich for the discussion, as well as Bernd Hömberg and Haus der Technik e.V for hosting us at the Advanced Battery Power and Vehicle to Grid conferences.   #battery #research #recycling #NMC #LFP

July 1 News: Zhuhai Cosmx Battery released the transcript of its investor relations activities. An excerpt follows: Q: What is the current status of the company's silicon-carbon anode applications? A: The application of silicon-carbon anode materials represents a significant trend in the current development of lithium-ion batteries. Compared to graphite anodes, they offer a higher theoretical energy density and are considered a promising new type of anode material. Our company is continuously engaged in research, development, and testing, and has launched solutions accordingly. Currently, we have multiple silicon anode projects underway, with a silicon content generally ranging from 3% to 5%.

❗PRESS RELEASE In controlled tests, Novacium’s 18650 batteries—incorporating their innovative GEN3 silicon anode material—achieved an average capacity of 3,301 mAh, significantly outperforming the graphite benchmark’s 2,708 mAh.
