Solid state Batteries v/s Li-ion Batteries: A Comparison Based on Cost

Get Electric Vehicle

To better understand the severity of the cost component, let us look at the cost comparison between Solid state and Li-Ion batteries. In a broad sense, the use of lithium-ion batteries that started the EV revolution has been the industry standard in the EV sector. Li-Ion Batteries: What Made Them The Most Desired?

Antimony nanocrystals as high-capacity anode materials for both Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

The nanocrystals possess high and similar Li-ion and Na-ion charge storage capacities of 580?640 85% of the low-rate value, indicating that rate capability of Sb nanostructures can be comparable to the best Li-ion intercalation anodes and is so far unprecedented for Na-ion storage. 640 mAh g ?1

Stanford team develops sodium-ion battery with performance equivalent to Li-ion, but at much lower cost

Green Car Congress

Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. The researchers focused mainly on the favorable cost-performance comparisons between their sodium-ion battery and lithium. —Lee et al.

Rice team devises Li metal anode that completely suppresses Li dendrite formation

Green Car Congress

Rice University scientists have used a seamless graphene-carbon nanotube (GCNT) electrode to store lithium metal reversibly and with complete suppression of dendrite formation. The areal capacities of the GCNT-Li are from 0.4 to 4 mAh cm -2 , represented by GCNT-Li-0.4 to GCNT-Li-4. Credit: ACS, Raji et al.

Tin nanopillars layered between graphene sheets as high-performance anode materials for Li-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

For comparison, the cycling performance of pure graphene and Sn films under the same conditions are also shown. The addition of flexible and conductive graphene layers to the Sn nanopillar arrays can provide extra “cushion” for the structure to accommodate large volume change induced by Li–Sn alloying/dealloying reactions.>.

Kreisel Electric expanding capacity with construction of new Li-ion battery plant

Green Car Congress

Kreisel says that it leverages assembly and thermal management techniques to deliver 20% more usable capacity available in comparison to the products of its main competitor. The generated solar power will be stored in stationary Kreisel batteries (1,000 kWh) to secure the continuous power supply for building and charging stations.
