➀ An advancement in battery chemistry is promising smaller, lighter, and cheaper Li-ion cells without compromising performance at the end of life; ➁ Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory identify cathode hydrogenation as the primary cause of lithium battery degradation; ➂ Mitigating self-discharge could lead to a future of improved rechargeable batteries.

➀ The prices for metals used in batteries such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium continue to fall; ➁ The price of lithium spodumene concentrate fell by 16% q-o-q in August; ➂ The average price for square LFP cells dropped below CNY 0.4/Wh in August.

➀ Researchers at Fraunhofer IWU are developing next-generation battery cases for electric vehicles that are lighter and reduce CO2 emissions by 15%. ➁ The project, COOLBat, integrates multiple functions into smaller spaces using new lightweight materials and bio-based flame retardant coatings. ➂ Innovations include integrated cooling and load-bearing components, lightweight composite covers, and improved fire safety measures.

➀ MIT engineers have developed an ultra-small zinc-air battery, measuring 0.1mm in length, for autonomous micro-robots. ➁ This battery can power tiny circuits and sensors, freeing micro-robots from solar dependence. ➂ Potential applications include drug delivery within the human body and detecting gas pipeline leaks.

➀ Richard LeCain has been appointed as the CTO of the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC). ➁ He brings over 20 years of experience in the battery industry, having worked at A123 Systems and Britishvolt. ➂ LeCain will lead technical process design, product development, and R&D activities at UKBIC.

➀ Researchers have developed a cathode homogenization strategy for all-solid-state lithium batteries, using a zero-strain material to enhance energy density and cycle life. ➁ This new approach eliminates the need for inactive additives, resulting in a more efficient and stable battery with over 20,000 cycles and high energy density. ➂ The material's stability and performance make it a strong candidate for commercial applications in electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage systems.
