Tesla is not the only company with dry battery electrode manufacturing experience and LG is about to start production of their own battery electrodes using a new dry process that they have been developing for 10 years. Follow along as I discuss LG’s dry manufacturing tech. including info from an LG patent application for their dry process.

    Tesla uses extrusion to mix the binder with the active material. It is a completely dry procedure. Maxwell's patent is actually about this extrusion process.
  • Sandy Munro just covered Sakuu's dry cathode progress. They already have working pouch cells.
  • @gatoconia
    Love this channel, awesome, thank you a lot for such great content ❤

    Competition and innovation at work.
  • Jon.... (Speaking as a Photocopier/Laser Printer Technician) That "dry powder" sounds A LOT like a copier/ printer TONER. A brief description of part of the "printer" process..... . An active material combined as a dry powder with a thermoplastic binder.... (Here's the bit they SHOULD use imo) Electrostatically applied to a surface in a fine (variable thickness) layer, then "fused" using heat and pressure. . Sounds like that would do it? . There are probably ways to utilise the toner transfer process with a photoconductive drum via a toner transfer belt system. That would allow for an extremely precise snd accurate coating. . The only issue might be use of a metal foil in the transfer process, but I'm sure the "Smart people" at a copier company could work that out.....
  • @kennith.
    Did Tesla not buy the tech in from Maxwell?
  • @mback12000
    Sooo, the guy from LG wrote an "article" saying they're the leader, and you're reporting they're the leader. Nothing like social media for the facts.
  • @Lduke32
    How come you have not reported on US silicon battery companies Sila Nano Tech and Group 14 ? Apparently 50% improvement energy density and charge speed if cathode has 80% silicon. Thoughts?
  • @iandavies4853
    I’m pretty sure Maxwell Technologies worked on DBE for years before Tesla purchased them. The Tesla tech wasn’t born yesterday.
  • @tsclly2377
    So is the danger of spontaneous combustion due to modes of failure still part of the problem??
  • @dublindave5795
    Since it is a "dry " process is this considered solid state?
  • @sambira
    So, they've been doing this for 10 years and Tesla does it and all of the sudden we are hearing about theirs. Interesting to say the least.
  • @billsrelectric
    The current EV rated at 320 miles of range will improve to 375-380 miles in 4 years? 5 years? Assuming same size battery.
  • @eyesuckle
    Thanks for this. I've been wondering what it is that has been holding up Tesla's development of the dry-electrode process, and your thoughtful video introduces some very interesting possibilities. It seems that most of the time, persistent and intelligent efforts to solve an engineering problem will yield the desired result. And sometimes. . . that's just not enough. Sometimes, the solution awaits some sort of breakthrough. Very hard to time breakthroughs.
  • @newsgeekus1216
    Do the LG batteries with dry electrodes also catch fire randomly?
  • @bkparque
    Im waiting to see quantum computers get involved in making batteries such as dwave
  • DAM Following Tesla strategy of "The best part is no part", instead of adding an extra material and process to act as a dam you could presumably just introduce a crease in the substrate foil to create the dams. I'll take my patent now please 😊
