ASU team develops new solution for mitigating Li dendrite growth by tackling plating-induced residual stress

Green Car Congress

Lithium-metal batteries are among the most promising candidates for high-density energy storage technology, but uncontrolled lithium dendrite growth, which results in poor recharging capability and safety hazards, currently is hindering their commercial potential. —Wang et al.

Systematic review of EV battery pack costs suggests economies of scale may push cost toward US$200/kWh without further cell chemistry improvements

Green Car Congress

If costs reach US$150 per kWh this is commonly considered as the point of commercialization of BEV. A commercial breakthrough of the next generation of, for example, lithium air-based batteries is still distant and not considered in this paper. Source: Nykvist and Nilsson (2015). Click to enlarge.
