Modeling Battery Degradation In COMSOL Multiphysics®
Battery systems often face challenges from various degradation mechanisms, which can lead to reduced efficiency, capacity fade, and even failure over time, ultimately impacting the performance and lifespan of the battery. The COMSOL Multiphysics® software enables the modeling of electrochemical degradation by incorporating arbitrary side reactions, such as solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation, lithium plating,… Read more »
High voltage contactors to optimize EV safety and efficiency (Webinar)
High-Voltage Contactors (HVCs) are critical for ensuring safe and efficient power switch disconnection in electric vehicles (EVs). Integral to Battery Disconnect Units / BDU, HVCs safeguard against potential hazards by disconnecting batteries during fault conditions, while also maintaining stability and safety during load variations and energy redistribution. Join this webinar at next week’s Virtual Conference… Read more »
ICL to partner with Dynanonic to produce LFP CAM in Europe
Specialty minerals company ICL has signed a joint venture agreement with Chinese battery metals producer Shenzhen Dynanonic to establish lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode active material (CAM) production in Europe. The JV will have an initial investment of approximately €285 million. A new facility at ICL’s site in Sallent, Spain is currently in the planning… Read more »
Research confirms Altilium’s recycled cathode materials match performance of mined materials
New research carried out by Imperial College London indicates that recycled EV battery materials produced by UK-based Altilium can match the performance of mined materials. Imperial’s analysis of Altilium’s commercial-grade recycled cathode active materials (CAM), which it began producing late last year, confirmed improvements in purity, morphology and electrochemical performance compared to commercially available materials,… Read more »
BMW and SK tes to expand high-voltage battery recycling
German carmaker BMW and South Korean technology firm SK tes plan to expand their closed-loop battery recycling system from Europe to the US-Mexico-Canada region in 2026. The recycling process recovers cobalt, nickel and lithium from used batteries to return them to the value chain to produce new batteries. BMW is directly involved in the process,… Read more »
NanoGraf’s Onyx EV-ready silicon anode boasts cost parity with synthetic graphite
US-based silicon oxide anode material producer NanoGraf has announced the release of Onyx, “an EV-ready silicon anode material that delivers dramatically improved lithium-ion battery performance at cost parity with synthetic graphite anodes.” “Designed to deliver peak performance at a lower price point than other available silicon anode options, Onyx is drop-in ready today, and is… Read more »
Ace Green Recycling to build enormous LFP battery recycling facility in India
Ace Green Recycling, a provider of sustainable battery recycling technology, has secured a site in Mundra, Gujarat, to build what it says will be India’s largest battery recycling facility. The site is strategically located near major ports handling over 10% of India’s maritime cargo. The facility will build on Ace’s existing operations, which have been… Read more »
University of Waterloo team makes magnesium battery electrolyte design breakthrough
Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada have devised a new electrolyte design that enables a highly efficient magnesium battery anode. Magnesium is much more abundant and less costly than lithium, which would help further sustainable energy storage. However, initial research on magnesium-based batteries generated 1 V, less than a standard AA battery, which… Read more »
GKN Hoeganaes to support First Phosphate’s LFP cathode materia development in Tennessee
GKN Hoeganaes, a division of GKN Powder Metallurgy, is collaborating with First Phosphate toward establishing a North American supply chain for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for EVs. The partnership follows GKN’s integration of First Phosphate’s magnetite into its proprietary Ancorsteel melting process. The process produces a high-purity iron powder, which serves as a precursor… Read more »
