With a new coating process, researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have produced electrodes for lithium-ion batteries at record speed. At the same time, the new process improves the quality of electrodes and reduces production costs. Photo: Ralf Diehm, KIT). Quicker coating requires shorter drying times.

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.

The polyhedra aid the eye in seeing the ions grouped as (green) Fe/Mg-enclosing octahedra and (yellow) phosphate tetrahedra. The (blue) oxygen ions are made very small to permit viewing of the arrangement of the other ions. a provider of lithium-ion batteries, modules and packs. Click to enlarge. ton trucks. “

ALTe already has Gen 1 proof-of-concept systems running in a Crown Vic taxi equipped with a 20 kWh Li-ion battery pack. Thomas said that ALTe is building a robustly engineered, professional quality, mass production powertrain conversion kit assembly operation and plans to produce up to 90,000 powertrains per year.

This could eventually have a role comparable to that of the Volkswagen Group’s modular diesel and modular gasoline engine kits (MDB and MOB). (“Baukasten” = German for construction kit). Power is provided by a liquid-cooled 95 kWh Li-ion pack. Ultimately, Audi is targeting costs of around $100/kWh.

That means less carbon and lower cost of ownership. And we are the best in operating costs. kWh Li-ion polymer pack from LG Chem provides the energy storage. The pack is 20% lighter than non-polymer lithium-ion batteries and can be shaped more optimally to the interior than standard cell format batteries, Hyundai said.
