Merry Christmas from the GELADEN team!
In the fourth episode of our Advent special, Prof. Jürgen Janek (Justus Liebig University Giessen) answers the following questions:
- What are the costs for the battery cell components cathode, anode, electrolyte and separator?
- Is there a particular difference between NCM, LFP and sodium-ion cell chemistries?
- Are there significant differences in capacity loss over the service life of the various cell chemistries?
- Lithium metal anodes: What would be advantages and what is the status?
- Liquid metal batteries could be used for large-scale storage in the energy transition. What exactly are they and do you think they have a bright future?
- The lithium titanate battery (LTO for short) also has no graphite on the anode: They can manage over 10,000 cycles and high charging currents. What are the disadvantages?
- What are bipolar batteries?
