Solid-State Batteries Enter Pilot Production 🔋 💬 With some major players in the industry going all in on solid-state batteries, I'm interested to know what my network think - could solid-state redefine the EV and energy storage markets, or is there another technology that you think will be better? TrendForce's latest research shows that solid-state batteries are entering the pilot production phase, with major players like Toyota, Nissan, and Samsung SDI leading the way! By 2027, production is projected to reach GWh levels, meaning significant advancements in battery safety, energy density, and longevity. But it hasn't been a smooth journey for Solid-State batteries so far. High costs and complex production have slowed adoption, especially for full solid-state batteries. However, semi-solid-state batteries—which use a mix of solid and liquid electrolytes—are already powering some EVs and scaling steadily. Looking ahead, by 2035, costs for these batteries could fall significantly, driven by new tech and sulfide-based designs. #CLMEurope #CLMAmericas #SolidStateBatteries #EV #Energystorage

The automotive industry faces exciting developments and new hurdles to overcome in 2025.

Solid-State Batteries: Promising, but Still a Decade Away from Mass Adoption There's been a lot of buzz around solid-state batteries for EVs recently, and it's exciting to see the progress being made. The use of silicon as an active material in the anode (similar to StoreDot #xfc) is a particularly promising development. However, as I've maintained, widespread commercial viability is still at least a decade away. While advancements are encouraging, significant hurdles remain, particularly around cost and scaling up production. These challenges need to be overcome before solid-state batteries can become a mainstream solution for electric vehicles. At StoreDot, we believe in providing a realistic roadmap for the industry. While solid-state technology holds long-term potential, we're focused on delivering commercially viable extreme-fast-charging solutions in the near term that use the existing gigafactories. Keep the discussion going! What are your thoughts on the future of solid-state batteries? #solidstatebatteries #EV #electricvehicles #batteries #innovation #technology

I agree with this article. Silicon-Graphite anodes in EV cells is key to making better EV batteries for next generation of Affordable EVs, PROVIDED that costs and risks are reduced and scalability to EV quantities is supported by industrial partners. https://lnkd.in/gwN2syHf OneD Battery Sciences spent 15 years perfecting, patenting, and scaling-up the SINANODE processing. What is unique about it? (1) It is the lowest cost silicon technology, because it add silicon inside the pores of graphite anode materials already produced at large scale and low cost by qualified suppliers. The silicon is added using a fast and inexpensive patented catalytic process, reducing waste and time. By comparison, proprietary hard carbon substrates infused with silicon are at least 4 or 5 times more expensive and not yet scaled up to EV quantities. (2) Performance data in EV cell prototypes have proven that higher cell energy density can be achieved with less silicon because the SINANODE processing does not add the unnecessary inactive materials and excess voids found in other technologies. Instead, the anodes can be calendared to EV densities with very low wt. % of inactive materials. We provide EV cell prototypes to customers and partners so that they can verify our data. We do not expect anyone to trust marketing claims. (3) The SINANODE IP portfolio is unrivaled in providing customers and partners the IP Freedom to operate, and supporting the large-scale production by licensing established industrial partners in the EV supply chains. You can download the IP portfolio from the website at www.onedsinanode.com. The earliest priority dates of the patents are before that of our competitors and there are over 200 patents granted in the USA, Europe, Korea, Japan and China, with broad granted claims on materials, processes and equipment. Learn more at www.onedsinanode.com or feel free to ask questions in the comments. GM Ventures is an investor in OneD Battery Sciences. Other customers and partners to be announced soon. Our R&D team is in Palo Alto, California and our Pilot Production team is in Moses Lake, Washington. Terrific people doing great work in a very focused manner. #evbatteries #silicon #sinanode
