BNEF: Li-ion battery pack prices rise for first time since 2010 to an average of $151/kWh

Green Car Congress

Rising raw material and battery component prices and soaring inflation have led to the first increase in lithium-ion battery pack prices since BloombergNEF (BNEF) began tracking the market in 2010. he upward cost pressure on batteries outpaced the higher adoption of lower cost chemistries like lithium iron phosphate (LFP).

Team develops high-capacity Li-ion sulfur battery; no Li-metal anode

Green Car Congress

Now, a team from Spain, Italy and Germany reports an efficient lithium?ion ion battery using an enhanced sulfur–carbon composite cathode that exploits graphene carbon with a 3D array (3DG?S) based anode (Li y SiO x –C)—i.e. avoiding the use of a Li metal anode entirely. The Li y SiO x –C/3DG?S cost and high?energy?storage
