Lithium-Ion batteries have become the portable power technology of choice, the problem is, energy density improvements are not keeping pace with the ever-increasing demand for performance, and that’s a problem.

One technology that has the potential to deliver a step change in performance is the development of silicon-based anodes, due to the far greater energy capacity of silicon compered to graphite.

In this episode I’m joined by Jeff Helm of NanoGraf Corporation to discuss the potential benefits and challenges of developing silicon-based anodes.

In this series of podcasts, I often thought of the Battery industry as a whole, but in fact it is populated by individual businesses making individual product development decisions based on the needs of their market. And just how these businesses innovate is interesting. It’s also easy to concentrate on the EV market, but of course, the range of applications for batteries is enormous.

In this episode I’m joined by Darren Brittain, Senior Director of Portfolio Strategy with Trojan Battery Company to discuss a very specific market, and how the move to Lithium-ion batteries helped deliver enhanced performance.

The Battery Technology Podcast | Episode 31 | Exploring the Cost Drivers of Battery Manufacture | Aaron Wade | CRU Group

I recently read a very interesting report describing the key cost drivers of battery manufacture, particularly in regard to Chinese manufacturing. How do they achieve the battery costs they do? and what are the lessons for US and European battery manufacturers.

In this episode I’m joined by Aaron Wade of CRU Group, the author that report. Aaron leads CRU's battery cost modelling and analytics, and together we explore the production costs of current and next-generation battery technologies and the implications for battery manufacturers.
