Future of e-Mobility is in the Hands of Chemicals & Materials Companies
As the market grows for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and new technologies, material solutions will play an important role to meet new requirements and overcome design challenges. There has been a shift from graphite-based anodes to silicon-based anodes to improve battery charge capacity, as silicon has a high density of energy per unit of material and can store 10 times the charge as compared to graphite and improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. Next-generation batteries, such as sodium-ion and lithium-sulfur, are currently under development and are expected to replace the lithium-ion batteries in EVs; however, lithium-sulfur batteries become unstable over time and their electrodes deteriorate, thereby limiting their widespread adoption. With the advent of next-generation batteries, there would be a demand for more specific chemicals and materials that could function as binders to control the swelling and cracking of electrodes as well as act as a protective coating for them.
