One potential solution for enhancing capacity and production efficiency of lithium-ion batteries is to subdivide electrodes into dedicated functional layers. At the same time, the overall binder content is reduced, resulting in higher energy density. Wilhelm Schabel, who leads the participating group “Thin Film Technology” at KIT.

Setup of the fluoride-ion battery: A fluoride-containing electrolyte separates the metal anode from the metal fluoride cathode. Researchers from the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT) have developed and demonstrated secondary (i.e., Metal fluorides may be applied as conversion materials in lithium-ion batteries.

Toyota was earlier granted a Zero Emission Powertrain (ZEP) Executive Order (A-014-1170) from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for its new heavy-duty fuel cell electric powertrain kit. The hydrogen-fueled powertrain kit includes a 200 kWh Li-ion battery; hydrogen fuel storage tanks (58.8 Earlier post.)

Intermittent coating with precise edges: The process developed by KIT allows for the coating of electrode foils at new record speed. Schmitt/KIT) Click to enlarge. In a recent techno-economic analysis of Li-ion battery manufacturing, a CMU/MIT team used 10 meters per minute as the assumed coating processing rate.
