  • Chinese firm unveils solid-state batteries with 136 Wh/lb energy density

    Anhui Anwa New Energy Technology, a Chinese company partly owned by automaker Chery and battery maker Gotion High-Tech, has unveiled its first batch of solid-state battery samples with an energy density of 136 watt-hours per pound. These first-generation batteries meet the new ‘No Fire No Explosion’ safety standard and were produced at Anwa’s factory in China’s Wuhu Economic and Technological Development Zone. The company employs a fully integrated production line with a five-step dry manufacturing process that reduces energy consumption by 20% and fixed asset investment by 30%, enhancing sustainability and cost-effectiveness. Anwa plans to expand its facility with a 5 GWh solid-state battery R&D center and a fully automated production line to support large-scale manufacturing. Anwa has begun trial production of second-generation solid-state battery packs expected to reach an energy density of approximately 181 watt-hours per pound, a significant improvement over the first generation. The company aims to start mass production of third-generation batteries by

  • Nascent Materials emerges from stealth to make LFP batteries better and cheaper

    Nascent Materials, a startup founded by Chaitanya Sharma, has emerged from stealth mode with a novel manufacturing process aimed at improving lithium-ion battery cathodes, specifically lithium-ion-phosphate (LFP) and lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate (LMFP) materials. Sharma, who has experience at Tesla’s Gigafactory and iM3NY, developed a method that can enhance cathode energy density by up to 12% while reducing production costs by 30%. Unlike pursuing new battery chemistries, Nascent focuses on optimizing material processing to achieve more consistent particle size and shape, which improves packing density and overall battery performance. The process also consumes less energy and can utilize lower-purity raw materials, potentially broadening domestic supply sources. Nascent’s approach addresses significant supply chain challenges, particularly the inconsistent quality of cathode materials available to smaller manufacturers, a problem Sharma witnessed firsthand at iM3NY. By providing more reliable and locally sourced materials, Nascent aims to reduce
