3D Lithium-Metal Anode for Electric Vehicle Industry - Electronics and Computers
Despite the rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in many developed regions, widespread mass- market uptake remains hindered by several factors. Extended driving range continues to be a barrier for potential consumers, alongside the limited availability of affordable, compact EVs that offer sufficient driving range. LionVolt`s 3D structured anode is a key enabler for next generation batteries that will help to further drive the electrification transition in this market. LionVolt`s first product for the BEV market is a 3D lithium-metal anode. This product delivers 1.5-2 times higher cell-level energy density wheninserted into a conventional battery cell and is compatible with NMC and LPF cells. It supports a <10- minute fast-charge and offers comparable cycle life/duration compared to conventional cells.
The 3D anode production process is based on a low cost and highlyscalable roll-to- roll manufacturing approach. This results in high performance cells which are at cost parity compared to today`s cells.
