Manufacturing

BMS Solutions

Pivoting to safer and lower energy density chemistries, e.g., LFP. Implementing safer materials at increased cost. Solid-state electrolytes improve safety by removing flammable liquid electrolyte. Liquid electrolytes can also be made safer with additives, ionic liquids, etc. High temperature and durable separator and current collectors can help prevent, slow, or lower the intensity of thermal runaway

Implementing additional quality control testing in factories on materials and production steps from slurry mixing and electrodes coating to cell assembly and final pack production.

Implementing advanced BMS monitoring and software solutions to accurately predict end-of-life, identify faulty cells, provide prognostics, improve battery longevity, support fast charging, etc.

Industry Source:

Factories can also implement improved cell design, form factor, and packaging.
