LG Chem to build LFP cathode plant in Morocco
South Korea-based chemical company LG Chem and China’s Huayou Group have partnered to build a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cathode materials plant. LG Chem is working to vertically integrate its cathode supply chain. The LG Chem-Huayou Group partnership will develop four plants: an LFP cathode material facility; a lithium conversion plant, also in Morocco; a high-pressure acid… Read more »
Researchers announce cycle life breakthrough for lithium-sulfur EV batteries
Researchers at Monash University have developed a new lithium-sulfur battery design with a nanoporous polymer-coated lithium foil anode that reduces the amount of lithium required in a single battery. In their recent paper, the scientists explain how they applied a nanoporous polymer directly onto a lithium foil anode, creating a new battery design that uses… Read more »

Turntide releases new NMC battery pack
US-based Turntide Technologies, a developer of energy-efficient technologies, has launched a lithium-ion nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery pack for off-highway EV applications such as construction, agricultural equipment, marine and rail. The Turntide lithium-ion NMC battery pack combines NMC cells with an integrated battery management system (BMS) to deliver higher energy density and performance than the previous Hyperdrive… Read more »
Packaging second-life EV batteries into a plug-and-play energy storage system
Q&A with Smartville CEO and co-founder Antoni Tong What do EV batteries have in common with athletes and politicians? Once they age out (or get voted out) of their positions, they have the opportunity to have a lucrative (and in the case of batteries, useful) second career. Repurposing depleted EV batteries for stationary storage applications… Read more »
Cummins, Daimler and PACCAR form joint venture to advance US battery cell production
Three major players in the heavy-duty vehicle field are partnering to accelerate and localize battery cell production in the United States. Accelera by Cummins (the zero-emissions business unit of engine manufacturer Cummins, Daimler Trucks and Buses and PACCAR are forming a joint venture to manufacture battery cells for commercial EVs and industrial applications. Each of… Read more »
The economics of recycling LFP batteries are not as attractive as NCM—an opportunity for second-life applications?
The anti-EV crowd is fond of stating that EV batteries “can’t be recycled.” If they read Charged on a regular basis, they would learn that EV batteries are in fact being recycled around the world by a growing number of companies. Lithium-ion batteries contain valuable minerals such as nickel and cobalt, so they’re no more… Read more »
