RECSI 29.10.2018 kl 08:39 198097

Siden dette kan bli et spennende område for REC i nær fremtid, kan det jo være interessant å holde seg oppdatert på nyheter herfra.

Kan jo starte med LG Chem:
LG Chem invests in Enevate; silicon-dominant Li-ion battery technology

Enevate Corporation, developer of a silicon-dominant composite anode material and high energy density batteries (earlier post), announced that LG Chem has participated in Enevate’s recent funding.

Introduced in November 2017, Enevate’s HD-Energy Technology for EVs enables Lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells with up to 50% higher capacity than conventional graphite cells. The cells can be charged to 75% capacity in five minutes. They can also safely charge and discharge down to -40°C and capture more energy during regenerative braking, extending their range in cold climates.

Enevate’s HD-Energy Technology is a self-standing, silicon-dominant composite anode with more than 70% silicon. The conductive, silicon-dominant composite film anode is essentially 100% active material that can store lithium and has a high electrical conductivity.

Tidligere i år startet SK Innovation byggingen av selskapets første bilbatterifabrikk i Europa ($777 million investment)

SK Innovation held a groundbreaking ceremony for its first European lithium-ion battery factory in Hungary.

SK Innovation battery cell

The site will start production in early 2020, and ultimately is expected to supply 7.5 GWh of cells annually.

SK Innovation intends to invest 840.2 billion won ($777 million) in the facility by 2022, which sounds like $100 per 1 GWh of installed production capacity.

SK Innovation follows Samsung SDI and LG Chem that earlier began construction of their facilities respectively in Hungary and Poland.

There is tremendous demand for EV batteries expected in Europe and it seems that those three South Korean manufacturers are all-in.

SK Innovation was so far one of the smaller battery manufacturers, having only one 3.9 GWh plant, but this new site changes everything.

“On March 8th (local time), SK Innovation held a groundbreaking ceremony to build an electric vehicle (EV) battery factory named ‘SK Battery Hungary’ in Komárom, Hungary.

About 300 representatives attended in the ceremony, including Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Szijjártó Péter, Ambassador Choi Kyoo-sik of the Republic of Korea to Hungary, Vice Chairman Chey Jae-won of SK Group and CEO Kim Jun of SK Innovation.

SK Innovation secured 430,000 m2 of site in Komárom for the factoryd on long-term contract with European carmakers and began the construction of SK Battery Hungary last month in the city of Komárom–Esztergom County at about 110 km northwest of Budapest, the capital of Hungary. SK Innovation plans to invest a total of KRW 840.2 billion until 2022.

The batteries to be produced in SK Battery Hungary will be third-generation EV batteries, which give an EV 500km range with one charge. The company had announced in September, 2017 that it would start mass-producing of the world’s first medium-to-large NCM (nickel:cobalt:manganese) pouches at a ratio of 8:1:1.

SK Battery Hungary is expected to work as an important bridgehead for expanding its business area into the European market.

SK Battery Hungary expects to start mass-producing and supplying the batteries from early 2020. Once all the production lines are installed, the factory’s production capacity will reach 7.5 GWh per year.

SK Innovation is currently producing pouch type-batteries for EV at its Seosan battery factory in Korea, which produces 3.9 GWh annually.”

Daimler brings its EV plans to the table with €20 billion battery cell order

Another German car manufacturer has announced ambitious electric vehicle plans. Daimler AG says it has invested €20 billion in the purchase of battery cells to further advance its electric fleet.

DECEMBER 11, 2018

In  a statement released today, the car and battery manufacturer says it has invested €20 billion in the purchase of battery cells, as part of its CASE – connected, autonomous, shared & services and electric – corporate strategy.

Without disclosing specifics, Daimler says it buys the cells on the world market to ensure “the best possible technology”, while it focuses on its “core competence” of battery assembly.

Overall, the manufacturer says it is investing more than €1 billion in the creation of a global battery network within the production network of its Mercedes-Benz Cars, which will eventually comprise eight factories on three continents.

In Saxony, Germany, its Kamenz factory in is already said to be in series production, while a second factory will begin there at the beginning of 2019. Meanwhile, another two factories will be built in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim, and one at the company’s Sindelfingen site.

A further factory will be located in each of the following: Beijing, China; Bangkok, Thailand; and Tuscaloosa, the United States.

“The local production of batteries is an important success factor in Mercedes-Benz Cars’ electric offensive and is decisive for meeting the global demand for electric vehicles flexibly and efficiently,” said Daimler in a statement released today.

Overall, it aims to electrify its entire Mercedes portfolio by 2022, with 130 electric cars, and electric vans, buses and trucks. It says it is investing €10 billion in this expansion.

“By 2025, sales of battery-electric vehicles are to increase to 15-25 percent of total unit sales – depending on individual customer preferences and the development of the public infrastructure,” continues the statement.

Last week, a number of significant EV manufacturing and investment plans in China, Germany and North America were made by major automobile makers VW, Tesla and BYD, thus underpinning predictions that EV car sales are set to skyrocket in the coming decades.

UL to lead €8m research project to improve electric vehicle battery technology
18 Dec 2018

RESEARCHERS at the University of Limerick are to lead an €8m project to develop next generation battery technology for electric vehicles.

UL’s Bernal Institute is to lead the EU funded research project, called Si-DRIVE, to develop battery technology for higher performance electric vehicles (EVs).

It comes as EU policy demands that by 2030 40% of all new cars are to be EVs. Just 2% of the European fleet is currently electric.

“This project will tackle the major barriers to EV uptake, which relate to driving range, cost and recharge times by completely re-imagining the lithium ion battery using innovative anode, cathode and electrolyte materials,” said Professor Kevin M. Ryan, leader of the Si-DRIVE project.

Significant improvements to existing EV battery technology are required to improve driving range and charge times, if the EU’s ambitious targets are to be met.

The project will focus heavily on the sustainability of the system, with rare and expensive materials (e.g. cobalt) targeted for removal. This green focus will be supplemented by performing life cycle analysis, assessing the suitability of the cells for second life applications and through the development of recycling processes for cell materials, the researchers said.

Alongside the role as project coordinator, UL will also focus on the development of the high performance silicon based anodes materials. This research will lead to the development of lightweight anodes, composed of abundant elements that can reduce the overall weight of the final batteries.

Coordination of the project will ensure that UL is at the forefront of battery research, through the development of research links and demonstration of the game-changing performance of their advanced anode materials.

Dr Hugh Geaney, researcher on the project added: “The Si-DRIVE project will bring together leading experts from across Europe to deliver the sustainable and cost-effective battery technology required for environmentally friendly EVs of the future.”

The Si-DRIVE consortium is comprised of 16 academic and industrial partners from seven European countries, across the entire battery development chain.

Dr Bob Flynn, National Contact Point for the Horizon 2020 at Enterprise Ireland welcomed the announcement.

“Si-DRIVE’ ranked first of all proposals submitted for this specific Horizon 2020 call and this success brings Irish researchers to the forefront of battery related research and technology development across Europe,” he said.

“Enterprise Ireland provided financial and technical support for the team to develop their proposal in line with our strategy for Horizon 2020 to support excellence in research with the objective of driving innovation and competitiveness across the Irish economy.

“To date Irish researchers and companies have successfully won €630m in approvals under Horizon 2020 bringing us over the half way point to achieving our national Horizon 2020 target of €1.25bn.”

Micro Batteries in Tomorrow’s Smartphones

In the era of connected devices, intelligent connected micro sensors require miniature embedded energy sources with great energy density. For ultra-thin—or planar—micro batteries, increased energy density means using thicker layers of materials, which has obvious limitations. A second method consists in machining a silicon wafer and producing an original 3D structure made of simple or double micro tubes. 3D batteries keep their 1mm2 footprint area, but develop a specific area of 50 mm2—an enhancement factor of 50! These robust micro tubes are large enough (of the order of the micron) to be coated with multiple layers of functional materials.

Uansett, har trua på dette. Solid state-batterier er den mest nærliggende konkurrenten til Li-Ion med silisiumanode. Men minst én av designene for solid state bruker også silisium, så det er grunn til å tro at fremtidens batterier vil ha silisium i en eller annen form. Me lét sjå!

Det forskes på flere typer anodemateriale. Men hva tror dere blir vinneren på kort/mellomlang sikt, 5-10-20 år ?

For REC sin del er det snakk om at selskaper kikker etter tomt(er) allerede nå. Og at det kan bli en viktig
del av deres virksomhet innen 2-3 år. Her må vi også tolke det som at bygging vil måtte starte
om ikke så lenge - og at det er naturlig å se for seg at REC vil få cash på forskudd.
Dette siste (om cash) har JBG nevnt tidligere.

REC sier også at selskaper som Tesla, Samsung, Panasonic og LG, har vært hos dem for å sondere
muligheten for tomtekjøp og bygging av fabrikker med rørforbindelse til RECs fabrikker
for å frakte silangass. Og i den forbindelse blir både Butte og Moses Lake nevnt

"While lithium-ion cells have gotten incrementally better over the years, they seem set for a big boost in 2019 through the increased use of an element not unfamiliar to the electronics industry: silicon."

...

"Happily enough, silicon’s expansion problem is not insurmountable. Even now, some lithium-ion batteries have anodes that include particles containing silicon combined with silicon dioxide (the stuff of sand) and coated with carbon. Elon Musk revealed in 2016 that the Tesla’s lithium-ion cells are built that way. But to date, the amount of silicon in anodes has been minimal.

Expect that to change in 2019. To begin with, a California startup named Sila Nanotechnologies plans to commercialize a silicon-rich anode material. Company cofounder and Georgia Tech professor Gleb Yushin says that Sila has developed a “drop-in solution” for existing battery manufacturers, which is slated to go into commercial production in 2019."

...

"That helps explain the interest of BMW, which is working with Sila to explore whether lithium-ion batteries built with the new anode material can be used in its electric cars. Nevertheless, Yushin says “the initial products will be wearables,” for which the cost of the battery is not such a critical factor and the amount of anode material required is much more modest, meaning that his company can more easily meet demand. Yushin expects lithium-ion batteries with Sila anodes will be in millions of devices in 2019."

...

"Sila probably won’t be the only company to unveil a silicon-battery technology this year. Another California company, Enovix, is expected to introduce an anode that is made entirely of silicon and silicon oxides.

Ashok Lahiri, cofounder and chief technology officer for Enovix, along with two colleagues, described the company’s battery technology in detail in these pages in 2017. At the time, Enovix planned to borrow fabrication techniques from the semiconductor industry to construct batteries from thin wafers of solar-grade silicon. But the company reconsidered that strategy after grappling with how to apply it to larger lithium-ion batteries for vehicles. “We realized that the solar-grade substrates could not scale,” says Lahiri.

So Enovix revamped its approach and is now using a metal foil instead of a silicon wafer as the substrate for its battery. The overall geometry of the battery, however, remains the same. It’s just built differently—by stacking components, says Lahiri, who explains that keeping the anode stack under high pressure inhibits the expansion during charge and allows the anode to be made entirely from silicon and silicon oxides.

“We think our battery will be from 30 to 70 percent better, depending on the application,” says Lahiri. If so, or if Sila comes through with an anode that can similarly boost capacity by such double digits, it’ll really shake up the battery industry, where normally, as Lahiri quips, “people kill for 5 or 10 percent.”"

Nikkei: China to Cut EV Subsidies by 30% in 2019

published: 2019-01-07 11:41

The Chinese government is reported to implement a 30% reduction in the subsidies for the purchase of an electric vehicle (EV) in 2019. Such a move is expected to significantly lower the domestic demand and cause some difficulties for would-be buyers. On the other hand, battery manufacturers based in South Korea stand to gain from a major reduction in subsidies. Since vehicle models equipped with their batteries are excluded from the official subsidy list, the cut will provide them with a more leveled playing field.

The Chinese government initiated the gradual phase-out of EV subsidies in 2018, targeting total elimination by 2020. The intention behind this decision is to compel domestic EV makers to cut costs and improve their competitiveness.

In an interview that took place in December of last year, a representative from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers told the Nikkei Asian Review that the average subsidy amount for the purchase of an EV is anticipated to be 30% lower in 2019 than in 2018. The same representative also stated that major domestic EV makers are worried that a dramatic scale-back in subsidies will cause EV sales to slide, especially for the popular models. The association is the industry group that assists the government in formulating standards and regulatory policies.

Nikkei has also reported that the total car sales in China for 2019 are projected to reach around 28 million vehicles, of which 1.2 million belong to the category of new energy vehicles. Following the central government’s decision to abolish nation-wide subsidies, local governments across the country are also starting to reduce the additional EV subsidies that they have introduced separately. This in turn is expected to substantially increase the cost burden on potential EV buyers.

However, China’s subsidy program, which uses the driving range on a single charge as the benchmark, may continue to increase the subsidy amount for certain models that offer exceptionally long ranges. In 2018, a vehicle model with a single-charge range of 150km could get an average subsidy of CNY 15,000 (USD 2,178), which is 60% less than the average of 2017. Conversely, a model featuring a 400km range could get an average subsidy of CNY 50,000, which represents a 10% increase from the average of 2017.

BusinessKorea, a media outlet, previously reported that South Korea’s battery suppliers, which include Samsung SDI, LG Chem, and SK Innovation, used to be strong competitors in China’s EV market due to their advantages in cost and product quality. However, they have received scant orders from the Chinese in the recent period, as the Chinese government in supporting domestic battery makers had excluded foreign batteries from it subsidy list. With the phase-out of the subsidies being a definite decision, Korean suppliers are re-establishing themselves in the country in anticipation that they will soon regain their former position.

It’s known that using silicon here has the potential to increase battery density because one silicon atom can hold on to four lithium ions, while it takes six carbon atoms to hold just one lithium ion. However, there are major issues with swelling and fracturing of the silicon after a few charge/discharge cycles. Amprius claims to have overcome these with its technology, which offers specific energies of over 435 Wh/kg and energy densities in excess of 1200 Wh/liter. (Amprius won’t divulge its Zephyr-related battery-capacity and weight numbers due to their “proprietary nature.”)
