The new manufacturing technologies such as high-efficiency mixing, solvent-free deposition, and fast formation could be the key to achieve this target. Besides the upgrading of battery materials, the potential of increasing the energy density from the manufacturing end starts to make an impact.
And despite cell pushes and subsidies that drive the sector, for the full transformation what we really need is to ensure that batteries are also competitive on the market and building at scale fast, and to continuously reduce capex [capital expenditures] to actually allow us to get there. Daphne Luchtenberg: Fantastic.
One major barrier to building more of these battery farms is finding enough vanadium. Three-quarters of the world’s supply comes as a by-product from 10 steel mills in China and Russia, according to Rodby, who got her PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology studying the design and market for flow batteries.
Although the invention of new battery materials leads to a significant decrease in the battery cost, the US DOE ultimate target of $80/kWh is still a challenge (U.S. Department Of Energy, 2020). The new manufacturing technologies such as high-efficiency mixing, solvent-free deposition, and fast formation could be the key to achieve this target.
Figure 1 introduces the current state-of-the-art battery manufacturing process, which includes three major parts: electrode preparation, cell assembly, and battery electrochemistry activation. First, the active material (AM), conductive additive, and binder are mixed to form a uniform slurry with the solvent.
The industry aims to achieve this by using both cobalt- and nickel-free materials, standardizing cells and integrating them directly into the battery pack. New manufacturing processes could also contribute to reducing costs, both by leveraging energy and equipment costs and by standardizing the factory itself.
