Battery technology is transforming our future, and we are investigating new materials to lead the way. IAV will be exhibiting and presenting at the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit, the longest-running annual event in the battery industry. This seminar is an excellent opportunity to discuss emerging battery technologies and explore the evolving landscape of electrical advancements.
With a combination of exhibits and four presentation tracks, this year promises valuable insights into the future of battery science. IAV will share our latest innovations in battery technology on Wednesday, March 19, at 3:50 PM, with a presentation by Dr. Reik Laubenstein.
Next-Gen Batteries: Bipolar Tech for Better KPIs at Lower Costs
Over the years, the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of classical Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) for mobility applications have improved. However, many consumers are still hesitant to purchase electric vehicles due to high prices and range concerns. Unlike traditional LIB packs, which use hundreds of single cells, the bipolar architecture aims to maximize volume utilization at the battery system level while reducing electrical losses and component costs.
In this presentation, we will provide an overview of IAV's development and experience in bipolar technology for highly integrated electric vehicle (EV) batteries, a journey that began in 2014. The defining feature of a bipolar battery is the bipolar plate, an electrode foil with the anode on one side and the cathode on the opposite side. Stacking these plates allows for a series connection of cells, increasing the voltage by the number of cells, while the active area determines the energy capacity. This design achieves lower electrical resistance and better utilization of available volume. However, the bipolar concept also presents challenges, such as complex cell manufacturing and bracing requirements. In this talk, we will provide a comprehensive overview of bipolar technology, discussing its benefits and disadvantages in the context of EV battery pack applications.
