Amsterdam and Houston, TX – Stellantis N. today announced a joint development agreement aimed at advancing battery cell technology for electric vehicle applications.
What is a lithium-sulfur EV battery?
The partnership aims to develop lithium-sulfur EV batteries with game-changing gravimetric energy density while achieving a volumetric energy density comparable to today's lithium-ion technology.
Are lithium-ion batteries a good choice for EVs and energy storage?
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are considered the prime candidate for both EVs and energy storage technologies, but the limitations in term of cost, performance and the constrained lithium supply have also attracted wide attention, .
Can life cycle management improve EV lithium battery materials supply chains?
Proper life cycle management could alleviate future lithium-ion battery materials supply chains for EVs. Governments and other stakeholders around the world have started initiatives and proposed regulations to address the challenges associated with life cycle management of EV lithium batteries.
What is Eve energy's lithium phosphate battery & liquid cooled energy storage solution?
The project adopts EVE Energy's lithium iron phosphate battery and liquid-cooled energy storage solution, and the power station has the ability and requirement to independently participate in auxiliary services such as grid frequency regulation and peak shifting.
According to the Department of Energy, eligible activities will include second-life applications for EV batteries and technologies and processes for final recycling and disposal of EV batteries. For more information, see DOE Notice of Intent.
As the key component powering EVs, electric vehicle batteries (EVBs) are poised to play a major role in making transportation cleaner while addressing climate change and improving environmental quality (Muratori et al. 2021; Li et al. 2015).
