You're now listening to the first episode of our latest initiative, the "Unveil the Future" podcast. Our mission is to bridge the gap between science and the public, making it more accessible and easily comprehensible for all. Our hope is that regardless of your background or interests, you will find something compelling in each episode as our esteemed scientists share their captivating stories. We are thrilled to have you embark on this journey with us!

To start off this series, we decided to go with someone whose story is a testament of how patience and passion can take you very far. Renowned for his pivotal role in the invention of the graphite anode, this man stands as a shining example of perseverance, dedication, and fortitude in the realm of scientific pursuit. Despite his groundbreaking work in creating the graphite anode in 1979, he hasn't received the recognition he deserves through numerous awards. In the debut episode of the "Unveil the Future '' podcast, we delve into the intellect of this visionary whose innovation resides within the smartphones so frequently used in modern society. Please join me in welcoming Prof. Rachid Yazami, Laureate of the 2023 VinFuture Grand Prize.

I am very pleased to publish an updated figure of merit for fast charging batteries, thanks to the new data points for Na-ion and LFP batteries recently contributed by Li et al. and Liao et al.
https://lnkd.in/eT4VKUpf
Now we have a complete suite of chemistries including NMC, LFP, Na-ion and LTO that are all capable of charging in 10-minute or less to 80% SOC. I see the following:
1. Balanced between energy density and cost, LFP battery stands out as the best choice for automotive applications. I see 90% of auto market shares taken up by LFP in years to come.
2. Na-ion battery must demonstrate 25% lower cost per kWh than LFP before it is commercially viable. This means $37/kWh for Na-ion cells as the current price of LFP is ~$50/kWh for prismatic cells. Thus, the meaningful direction for Na-ion battery development is cost-down or simplifications to get rid of any expensive materials such as oxide cathodes, hard carbon anodes, etc.

Can’t get into the article, they want money.

But from the headline, that is so true.

Semi-solid state battery and true solid state batteries are what is being discussed here.

In terms of Semi-SSB’s. Those are what is in production and being made at the present. A lot needs to be ramped up in terms of mass production. Amprius and QS are the two I am invested in and that’s their first direction.

SSB is tougher, the manufacturing process is almost there and if I am not mistaken QS is the closest in that category. Amprius talks about their advances but there are lengthy processes to sort out.

Idemitsu Kosan, we will never know where they are in their manufacturing of the true SSB.

You have to wonder why, LG, Panasonic, Samsung, EVE, LISCHEN, JGME have never touted TRUE SSB, hmmm, they have been making batteries a lot longer then QS and Amprius.

But either way, those two stand to make a lot of noise when they are in full swing.

While solid-state batteries are usually cited along with the 500 Wh/kg mark, the record 720 Wh/kg energy density of the new battery has been achieved with several technological breakthroughs.

"The all-solid-state lithium battery released uses a high-gram capacity, long-cycle lithium-rich manganese-based material for the positive electrode," tips Tailan, and adds that "in order to solve the solid-solid interface impedance problem... it is also equipped with Tailan New Energy’s unique high-performance oxide composite solid-state electrolyte."

Just as Elon Musk predicted, adding manganese is turning a very promising avenue for developing of high-performance EV batteries. CATL's M3P phosphate cells with manganese, for instance, offer 15% higher energy density than the LFP cells that Tesla uses in the Model 3 Highland.

It will be interesting if they can get the purity of the Na to 100%. Which would significantly reduce the weight that plagues the battery. Carbon anode, separator to prevent corrosion, makes sense.

Bolivia chose to partner with CATL, which produces SODIUM batteries to replace lithium batteries.
#chile, #argentina, #bolivia, #oscarvargasvillazon, March 10, 2024.
Bolivia chose CATL as its partner to test EDL technology in the Salar de Uyuni under the premise that lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries have become the fundamental component of electric vehicles (EVs).

However, CATL is already producing batteries with sodium-ion (Na-ion) technology. A development that threatens the future of lithium and its producing countries such as Argentina, Chile and Bolivia.

For Bolivia, the forecasts for sodium batteries are, at the very least, worrying, from the consultancy TKN srl, of which Oscar Vargas Villazon is a partner, we believe that sodium will cut the peak of lithium demand, we will begin to see that sodium will replace lithium for certain applications.

This scenario further exposes the delay of the National Lithium Policy in Bolivia, which in 16 years has not managed to enter the lithium market and worldwide, it is already prioritizing the replacement of the white mineral.

Tech war between CATL and BYD over sodium-ion batteries.

Today, the SODIUM-ion battery sector is being mass-produced by two Chinese groups: CATL-Chery Group and BYD. The two already have electric vehicles powered by sodium-ion batteries on the market.

The batteries produced by CATL have a battery pack with a capacity of 25 kWh and an energy density of 120 Wh/kg, has a range of 252 kilometers and supports fast charging from 3C to 4C.

China is estimated to have 10 GWh of sodium-ion battery manufacturing capacity as of June 2023. The country is expected to reach 40 GWh of operational capacity by the first quarter of 2024, according to the IEA.

CATL's sodium battery has a hard carbon anode and a high-sodium Prussian white cathode. Prussian White (PW), which is the completely reduced and sodium form of Prussian Blue (PB). Compared to competing commercial batteries, Prussian blue electrodes outperform them in terms of internal resistance, sodium ion storage and transfer rate, and transfer frequency.

Batteries account for a large portion of the total cost of an electric vehicle and typically account for 30% to 40% of its value.

Lithium price volatility also prompted battery manufacturers to look for alternative technologies, including sodium-ion ones. Sodium carbonate has been trading at US$200/tonne for several years.

Although sodium-ion batteries are not expected to overtake lithium-ion batteries in the short to medium term, sodium batteries are going to survive side by side with lithium batteries (10 to 20% of the market), it will reduce dependence on a single material, this should accelerate the transition to green energy.
