Experts Discuss Safety Innovations and Future Projections for Battery Technology in High-Risk Applications

The discussion focuses on the increased emphasis on safety in battery applications, particularly for high-risk environments like aviation and maritime sectors. Safety must be integrated from the early stages of development, starting with safer chemistries such as LMFP (Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate) and LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate). Innovations in materials within cells, including composite current collectors, also play a critical role. The conversation shifts to real-world testing experiences where it was noted that fires are often caused not by the batteries themselves but by surrounding electronics or external damages. Further insights highlight advancements in cell performance and reliability layers through analytics to detect anomalies. The talk touches upon the continuous progress seen in energy density and supercharging capabilities of modern batteries while addressing future expectations about cost per kilowatt-hour potentially dropping if raw material prices stabilize. Certification complexities due to diversifying technologies were discussed; however, existing standards seem sufficient for ensuring safety across various new developments.

Talk of session: EV Battery Development

Batteries are at the heart of any electric vehicle. Their design determines the vehicle's range, charging speed, performance in cold weather, fire safety and many other properties. The speed of development has been immense, as new cell chemistries such as LFP, sodium-ion and solid state batteries are pushing into the market. Significant progress has been made with monitoring battery usage with a view to design optimization so that the battery performance is maximized without accelerating the ageing process. In this session, we share insights on the performance of today's vehicle batteries and future technological developments.
