Pure Lithium has announced a significant breakthrough in battery technology, with its Advanced Anode lithium-metal cells demonstrating exceptional longevity. In laboratory testing, these batteries surpassed 9,315 full charge and discharge cycles, showing negligible capacity fade and continuing to perform.
Japanese chemical company Toray Industries has engineered a novel resin film designed to replace the copper foil currently used as anode current collectors in lithium-ion batteries. This innovation promises to reduce battery weight significantly while meeting crucial criteria for oxidation and reduction resistance, adhesion, mechanical strength, and thermal stability. Adoption of this film could lead to lighter, more efficient EV battery packs.
Researchers from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Southern Methodist University (SMU) are collaborating on a new solid-state battery design. Their focus is on developing nanoscale films for the interface between the lithium metal anode and the solid electrolyte, a critical step towards improving the performance and safety of next-generation EV batteries. This research could pave the way for more efficient and durable solid-state batteries in electric vehicles.
Graphite One has partnered with an engineering firm to advance its Conneaut, Ohio, battery anode production facility. This collaboration aims to establish 25,000 tonnes of domestic synthetic graphite capacity annually by late 2028, bolstering the crucial supply chain for EV batteries. This represents a significant step towards securing critical materials for electric vehicle manufacturing within North America.
NOVONIX has delivered a crucial C-sample of its synthetic graphite anode material to Panasonic Energy, a key step in qualifying its product for mass production. This marks the first North American-produced synthetic graphite anode C-sample, strengthening the domestic battery supply chain.
