Safety is a key feature touted by the A123 technology, with a video on their website of a nail drive test, in which a nail is driven through a traditional Li-ion battery and an A123 Li-ion battery, where the traditional battery flames up and bubbles at one end, the A123 battery simply emits a wisp of smoke at the penetration site.
Anode-free lithium ion batteries have been demonstrated using a variety of cathode materials, such as LiFePO 4, LiCoO 2, and LiNi 1/3 Mn 1/3 Co 1/3 (NMC 111).. These intercalation-type cathodes typically offer limited Li content (14.3 at.% for LiFePO4, 25 at.% for LiCoO2 and LiNixCoyMn1-x-yO2), although they remain the primary research targets. [2]
In 2015, researchers in China used porous graphene as the material for a lithium-ion battery anode in order to increase the specific capacity and binding energy between lithium atoms at the anode. The properties of the battery can be tuned by applying strain. The binding energy increases as biaxial strain is applied. [24]
A nanowire battery uses nanowires to increase the surface area of one or both of its electrodes, which improves the capacity of the battery. Some designs (silicon, germanium and transition metal oxides ), variations of the lithium-ion battery have been announced, although none are commercially available.
The specific energy of LFP batteries is lower than that of other common lithium-ion battery types such as nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA). As of 2024, the specific energy of CATL's LFP battery is claimed to be 205 watt-hours per kilogram (Wh/kg) on the cell level. [13] BYD's LFP battery specific energy is 150 Wh ...
The lead-acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté. It is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead-acid batteries have relatively low energy density. Despite this, they are able to supply high surge currents.

The cell is a solid-state battery that maintains constant pressure regardless of charging and discharging rates. The system includes an iso-temperature element. [49] In January 2024, Volkswagen announced that test results of a prototype solid-state battery retained 95% of its capacity after 1000 charges (equivalent to driving 500,000 km). It ...
