LG sees battery breakthrough by 2028 that has eluded Tesla
LG is betting on a leapfrog innovation to compete with Chinese battery makers. Read more at straitstimes.com.
I think LG is a little disingenuous there calling themselves the leader.
Tesla is mass producing 10s of millions of cells with a dry coated anode and has plans to do the cathode as well (Edit and can in the lab just like LG)
LG says this is going to be for both in 2028 on a pilot line, as if they won't have their own problems at scale as well.
By 2028 what makes them think Tesla won't have both going as well, while they've yet to finish building the factory?
Is anyone else actually mass producing dry anodes yet other than Tesla?
Another day, another battery breakthrough.
Dry coated electrodes are pretty legit, and lots of manufacturers are starting to build up scaled manufacturing processes and tooling for it. It’s not a lab R&D thing anymore. This is going be a thing shortly.
This one is at the end of the R&D pipeline. Technology advances can take a good 10-20 years before they’re available in consumer products.
If you read the article, you can see that this isn’t a new research paper. It’s a company telling its consumers and investors when they plan to have production at scale.
The hype shit is getting tiring...
Everything is a break through now... Then it never really happens lol
This thing is happening though. If you look up “dry coated electrodes,” you’ll see that this has been in development for over a decade, and manufacturers are now starting to build manufacturing lines for this. It’s not a lab experiment anymore, this is going into mass production.
Now imagine if companies were incentivized to share information like this...
Manufacturing improvement for dry-coating the cathode and anode. Tesla currently dry coats the anode but not the cathode.
