Lithium-ion chemistries are increasingly replacing lead-acid automotive batteries, especially in start-stop and energy recuperation systems, and they are even making inroads into starter battery applications. Electronics such as Freescale Semiconductor’s battery cell controllers are used to manage risks such as overcharge, overheating and internal short circuits. Now Freescale has introduced the MC33772 3- to 6-cell… Read more »

LG Energy Solution, Tesla build LFP battery plants in the US
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are all the rage these days. Although they offer lower energy density than batteries based on NMC (lithium nickel manganese cobalt) chemistries, they tend to be cheaper, and their ingredients are more readily available, less toxic and less controversial. Automakers including Ford and Stellantis are steadily building production capacity for… Read more »
IDEEL project achieves laser drying breakthrough for efficient battery cell production
The Implementation of Laser Drying Processes for Economical & Ecological Lithium Ion Battery Production (IDEEL) research project in Germany developed a laser-assisted roll-to-roll (R2R) drying process that could reduce the cost of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, according to German research organization Fraunhofer FFB. The hybrid process combines conventional, oven-based convection drying with laser drying based on… Read more »
