1 The dangers of lithium batteries Lithium battery is a potentially dangerous chemical power source from its own chemical characteristics and system composition. 1 High chemical activity Lithium is an element of the main group I of the second period of the periodic table and has extremely active chemical properties. 2 High energy density Lithium battery has extremely high specific energy (≥140Wh/kg), which is several times that of nickel-cadmium, nickel-hydrogen and other secondary batteries. If t

1. Why can lithium iron phosphate return? When electric vehicles were first developed in the early years, we would see that the power lithium batteries of many vehicles used lithium iron phosphate. However, in recent years, the reputation of ternary lithium has become more famous. When buying a car, you will even ask "what is this car?" Is the battery ternary lithium?" Lithium iron phosphate battery seems to have become a type of battery that has been eliminated. However, the recent news that TSLA

The person in charge of CATL, who has always been low-key, gave a rare interview to a reporter from the Shanghai Stock Exchange today, revealing that the company's next-generation R&D direction includes cobalt-free technology, and strives to reduce the cost of lithium batteries per kilowatt-hour to $100 by 2025. How is this going? A long-life battery has been developed The relevant person in charge of CATL revealed to the reporter of the Shanghai Stock Exchange that in terms of battery life, the co

The move to cobalt-free batteries is its most significant move yet, and the company is making a big bet on cobalt-free rechargeable battery technology Why doesn't everyone drive electric cars? One of the big reasons is price. If you compare an electric car with an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICE) of the same specification, you will find that the former is at least 10,000-15,000 pounds (about 88,000-132,000 yuan) more expensive than the latter. Even though EVs will be much cheaper when purchased and u

In view of the two videos about the LGChem Poland plant released by DilekTHEELEC earlier, this article will focus on the information about the Poland plant revealed in the interview with reporters and Li Xiuhuan, deputy general manager of LGChem, to sort out the plant and the process of the batteries produced by the plant. It involves the layout of product lines, yield and production planning. In fact, in the fourth quarter conference call, LG stated that it will continue to increase the proportion of production

Volkswagen is planning a new electric sports car, the ID.R, which is expected to enter production around 2025. According to VW's high-level sources, the vehicle will be built on VW's MEB platform, on which the ID.3 model was also born. It is reported that the ID.R model will use high-performance battery technology, this model is launched to compete with the TSLARoadster model. Volkswagen has designed several research models for the new car at its headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany, and the ID.R will be t

Research firm Navigant recently released the latest survey data on "pricing trends in advanced batteries and energy storage systems", and by 2030, lithium battery prices may drop from the current $139/kWh to $76/kWh. Alex Eller, senior research analyst at the company, said that while the survey report can provide insight into a range of energy storage technology developments, the real concern is lithium batteries used in grid-scale energy storage systems. Eller said, "Lithium battery prices wil

Safety has become the focus of the current electric vehicle industry. Last weekend, TSLA (TSLA) announced the results of the investigation into the spontaneous combustion incident in Shanghai, saying that it was a single battery module failure. At the same time, TSLA is stepping up research and development of its own batteries. That same week, NIO announced a recall of its ES8 electric car due to battery module-related issues. In this regard, industry experts told the first financial reporter that at prese

In 1991, Sony launched commercial lithium batteries for the first time. Since then, with the unremitting efforts of scientific researchers and engineers, the performance of lithium batteries has been greatly improved [1], and the application field of lithium batteries has also changed from the original 3C. The field of consumer electronics has expanded to new energy vehicles and distributed energy storage. The application of lithium batteries in the field of power lithium batteries has also prompted its pursuit of
