The technology swaps the graphite normally used on the negatively charged anodes of lithium-ion EV batteries for silicon. Panasonic recently announced a partnership with Sila Nanotechnologies, which makes the silicon anodes, to integrate the technology into the company's existing battery production line in 2024.
(Image credit: Artur Debat via Getty Images) A technology that could dramatically increase the range and decrease the charging time of electric vehicle (EV) batteries could soon be in many more cars. The technology swaps the graphite normally used on the negatively charged anodes of lithium-ion EV batteries for silicon.
Production in Europe and the United States reached 110 GWh and 70 GWh of EV batteries in 2023, and 2.5 million and 1.2 million EVs, respectively. In Europe, the largest battery producers are Poland, which accounted for about 60% of all EV batteries produced in the region in 2023, and Hungary (almost 30%).
Today’s batteries, including those used in electric vehicles (EVs), generally rely on one of two cathode chemistries: lithium nickel manganese cobalt mixed oxide (NMC), which evolved from the first manganese oxide and cobalt oxide chemistries and entered the market around 2008 1 Aluminum is sometimes used in place of manganese.
As manufacturing capacity expands in the major electric car markets, we expect battery production to remain close to EV demand centres through to 2030, based on the announced pipeline of battery manufacturing capacity expansion as of early 2024.
The majority of battery demand for EVs today can be met with domestic or regional production in China, Europe and the United States. However, the share of imports remains relatively large in Europe and the United States, meeting more than 20% and more than 30% of EV battery demand, respectively.
