Everyone in the US seems to be struggling to ramp up new battery plants. What the US needs to do, says Mark Willey, is put more R&D effort into battery process technology, not just battery chemistry. He says there are good lessons from the semiconductor industry that points the way out of production hell. Mark is the Senior VP of Customer Success at Voltaiq, and he explains how their technology can help improve production yields at battery plants.
EV batteries are heavy. Too heavy. But Factorial Energy says that it’s semi-solid state batteries are so energy dense that automakers can use batteries that are half as big and half as heavy. Better still, they can be made with 80-85% of the existing manufacturing equipment to make today’s lithium batteries. JJ Livingston, VP of sales for Factorial, talks about the progress they’re making and when they’ll be ready for mass production.
What if you could make all the graphite needed for batteries from waste wood products? NanoTerraTech is making battery-grade graphite using raw materials that normally get burned or used for mulch. So not only does it have a cost advantage, it has a zero net carbon process. Scott Farnham, the CTO of the company, talks about why automakers are so interested in their technology.
