One promising solution is the dry coating process for battery electrodes, which could significantly reduce costs and environmental impact. According to a 2022 McKinsey report, traditional wet coating and drying methods account for a staggering 25 percent of equipment costs in battery-cell production.
Nature Energy, 2023; 8 (2): 129 DOI: 10.1038/s41560-022-01176-6 DOE/Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. "Electric vehicle batteries could get big boost with new polymer coating." ScienceDaily.
The researchers recently described these findings in the journal Nature Energy. The HOS-PFM coating could allow the use of electrodes containing as much as 80% silicon. Such high silicon content could increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries by at least 30%, Liu said.
In response to the global shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) in the next decade, automotive manufacturers worldwide are intensifying their focus on EV production. This surge in EV adoption has created a demand for enhanced performance in battery-related coatings.
Companies like PNT are investing heavily in this emerging technology, betting that improvements in dry coating efficiency could reshape the battery manufacturing landscape. If successful, this innovation could dramatically lower EV prices and boost adoption, transforming the future of clean transportation.
The advance opens up a new approach to developing EV batteries that are more affordable and easy to manufacture. Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have developed a conductive polymer coating -- called HOS-PFM -- that could enable longer lasting, more powerful lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles.
