5 Key Routes to Better Li-Ion Batteries

The current iteration of Li-ion batteries, which are based on graphite anodes, liquid electrolytes, and cathode materials such as NMC and LFP, are generally considered to be reaching their performance limits. However, from cell materials to battery designs, there are still several routes that can lead to further improvements in performance and cost.

Amprius Technologies

On 12th May 2022, Amprius announced that they would list on the NYSE through a SPAC merger with Kensington Capital.

Zenlabs Energy Inc

Zenlabs are a start-up developing Li-ion batteries which utilise silicon oxides at the anode. They presented their developments at the IDTechEx Show USA 2019.

Nexeon and partners funded for new battery materials initiative

Nexeon is leading a new project to optimise coating technology for its silicon material. This approach will result in improved cell performance, and also extend the system compatibility of silicon anode materials, allowing use of lower cost electrolyte formulations and lower overall battery cell costs.

Nexeon MedSystems

Nexeon MedSystems is a bioelectronic medicine company developing medical devices for the treatment of movement disorders.

Project aimed at doubling range of next generation EVs

Nexeon and its partners have been awarded £7million in Innovate UK funding for a project to develop significantly better materials for Li-ion batteries. The work is an essential step to achieving electric vehicles with a range of 400 miles and above.
