In a new study recently published by Nature Communications, the team used K-Na/S batteries that combine inexpensive, readily-found elements — potassium (K) and sodium (Na), together with sulfur (S) — to create a low-cost, high-energy solution for long-duration energy storage.
A promising best-of-both-worlds approach is the Our Next Energy Gemini battery, featuring novel nickel-manganese cells with great energy density but reduced cycle life, working alongside LFP cells that will happily charge to 100 percent daily.
Eos, ESS Tech Inc and Energy Vault, the three big-name non-lithium energy storage firms that listed via SPAC deals, saw weak third quarter results. The US battery storage system integrator arm of Korean battery manufacturer LG Energy Solution (LG ES) has signed a 4-year supply deal with developer Terra-Gen.
Then there might be improved lithium-ion batteries, maybe using silicon anodes or rocksalt cathodes, for mid-range vehicles, or perhaps solid-state lithium batteries will take over that class. Then there might be LiS or even lithium–air cells for high-end cars — or flying taxis. But there’s a lot of work yet to be done.
A solid-state battery developer in China has unveiled a new cell that could help change the game for electric mobility. Tailan New Energy’s vehicle-grade all-solid-state lithium batteries offer energy density twice that of other cells in the segment, empowering the Chinese battery maker to hail the cells as a record-setter in the industry.
Solid-state batteries have been “coming soon” forever, but forever is finally here as China’s IM Motors L6 sedan is poised to become the first production vehicle to employ a solid-state setup, with a 130-kWh pack good for 622 miles on China’s cycle (maybe 400-plus by EPA standards).
