Cobalt-Free, Anode-Free: A Simpler Route to High-Energy Cells?

Amode Free LNO

Anode-free lithium batteries take “delete the anode” to its extreme: instead of shipping graphite or a lithium foil, the cell starts with bare copper on the negative side. All the lithium comes from the cathode on first charge and plates itself onto that copper. Removing the graphite host lifts both gravimetric and volumetric energy density, … Read more

SES 50Ah Lithium Metal Cell

SES 50Ah cell and discharge capacity curves at different temperatures

The SES 50Ah lithium metal cell specification sheet was released in December 2022 [1]. Included in our benchmarking as this shows a cutting edge cell technology for 2023. However, at this point there are some questions as the data has some incomplete and missing parts. This will be described through the post where values are … Read more
