Then there might be improved lithium-ion batteries, maybe using silicon anodes or rocksalt cathodes, for mid-range vehicles, or perhaps solid-state lithium batteries will take over that class. Then there might be LiS or even lithium–air cells for high-end cars — or flying taxis. But there’s a lot of work yet to be done.
Batteries are effectively chemical sandwiches, which work by shuttling charged ions from one side (the anode) to the other (the cathode) through some intermediate material (the electrolyte) while electrons flow in an outside circuit. Recharging the battery means shunting the ions back to the anode (see ‘How a battery works’).
There’s a revolution brewing in batteries for electric cars. Japanese car maker Toyota said last year that it aims to release a car in 2027–28 that could travel 1,000 kilometres and recharge in just 10 minutes, using a battery type that swaps liquid components for solids.
The earliest prototype cells ran on nickel and cadmium; successors have used everything from zinc and iron to sodium and lead. All have had what it takes to serve as a cathode for a battery: namely, an ability to have electrons ripped away from their atoms to be turned into electric current, leaving positively charged ions behind.
There is scope for more tweaks to the cathode. In NCM batteries, researchers have been paring back more-expensive cobalt in favour of nickel, which also provides a higher energy density. That path has led to commercial NCM811 battery cathodes with 80% nickel, and researchers are now working on NCM955, with 90% nickel.
QuantumScape has released some prototype performance data, but won’t say what its electrolyte is made from or what the energy density is of its intended first commercial product. In general, the touted higher energy densities for solid-state batteries are “unproven today at any sort of commercial scale”, says Ceder.
