Rethinking Lithium cell production, implications for the GF

likely attributes of 24M's non-flow battery
assumption - general ingredient is high quality lifepo4 for cathode / high quality carbon for anode / + special goo for electrolyte

good space density compared to conventional lifepo4, due to reduction of inactive layers, combined with rectangular format 24M would actually give Tesla's NCA a run for its money in regards to volumetric energy.

poor power density, 0.5mm layers will be a slow li ion cell, similar to how bollore's LMP batteries are low power. (slow li transport) perhaps it can be sped up with warming.

Excellent cycle life, should probably do more than 8,000 cycles to 80%, far superior to Tesla's NCA (which itself is good)

some vampire loss, perhaps 1% a day, don't know, all other Li ion does not have vampire loss at cell level.

great vibration resistance.

massive reduction in capital cost of cell factory.


the low power implies that it won't be competitive with Tesla's class
the low cost implies that it would facilitate mass market EVs with lower cost and greater range than Tesla.

once the Chinese reverse engineer these, look for long range commuting appliances
