VinFuture main award in 2023: Lithium-ion batteries were not well received

Lithium-ion batteries today are the foundational component that powers more than 15 billion mobile devices and 26 million electric vehicles globally. However, before achieving this brilliant success, Professor Stanley Whittingham (one of the four winners of the 2023 VinFuture Main Award) and his colleagues went through a difficult journey, starting half a decade ago. In 1974, in the laboratory, Professor. Stanley Whittingham and his colleagues created the first Lithium-ion battery model after a short period of research, opening a new era in the field of energy storage. It took a few more years for scientists to create larger battery models and a few more years to create Lithium-ion battery panels. However, at that time, this product was not well received. GS. Stanley Whittingham recalls that when he and his colleagues were researching Lithium-ion batteries, battery research in general was not a topic of much interest. “Our product was born too early, ahead of its time, so it was not well received. It took 20-30 years for the product to be commercialized,” he said. The famous professor said that he once stopped researching Lithium-ion batteries for 8-10 years. However, up to now, when Lithium-ion batteries have been accepted and become an…

Why effective battery recycling will soon be required, and why future-proof battery designs should be the main priority 

Not only is the battery market one of the biggest in the world, but it is also the one with the biggest growth potential. In 2020, there were 185GWh of batteries available globally. Many reliable sources predict that the market would grow tenfold in less than a decade. A CAGR of almost 27% is projected for the years 2020 to 2030, resulting in a market volume of 2035 GWh for batteries by that time.  However, the recently disclosed data by SNE Research, which rated the overall market volume to 296,62GWh in 2021, which is almost 6% above the predicted demand in 2021, tends to make these numbers look too conversational.  The primary engine for the anticipated expansion is the transportation sector, which also includes the vital EV passenger car market. When commercial EVs are included, the demand for batteries is projected to increase from 100GWh in 2020 to over 1700GWh in 2030. The large growth in demand puts a lot of strain on battery suppliers, who must quickly expand their capacity to produce affordable traction batteries, particularly in Europe.   Since EVs require charging, the overall energy demand will rise sharply as the number of EVs increases. Peak shaving or buffer…

The Skateboard Effect’s Effect on EV Space: A Full-size Interior with a Mid-Size Body 

EVs are roomier than gas cars for another reason, smart design. The skateboard system is a design used by VW, Ford, and other EV automakers. Due to where an EV’s wheels are mounted, this method gives EVs a space advantage.    Imagine a gasoline vehicle as a set of skates, and an electric vehicle as a skateboard. The wheels in a pair of skates are positioned rather closely together beneath the skate body. Everything is jammed in between the front and rear wheels; there isn’t much space between them.  Conversely, the wheels of a skateboard are spaced much farther apart under the skateboard platform. EVs still place everything between the wheels, just like a gas automobile, but because of the different wheel spacing design, there is a lot more interior space.  Batteries, brakes, motors, and other essential components are dispersed along the’skateboard’ platform, usually inside the platform to leave a level basis for the EV’s outside framework and interior design. In addition to providing EVs with more internal room than gas vehicles, the skateboard design also lowers the center of gravity of the vehicle, improving handling.  You can quickly see how interior space expands when you consider that EVs require considerably…
