Exclusive for how long? It'd obviously never be forever. It could easily take 3-5 years to get to a battery pack, and 3-5 years to ramp up large scale mass production. In the meantime making bespoke low volume battery packs could be really expensive, and so putting them in some kind of super exclusive and expensive vehicle makes sense. That assumes they actually can make a whole battery pack at all. We'll have to see.

@amosbatto3051 5 месяцев назад

765 Wh/kg is the cathode energy density, so this new TAQ cell should have a cell energy density around 306 Wh/kg, which is only slightly better than today's cutting edge NMC which reaches 300 Wh/kg. To get 500 miles of towing with a pickup, you are going to need something like CATL's condensed battery with 500 Wh/kg, but it will probably be another decade before those types of batteries are cheap enough for EVs. They will be limited to airplanes and expensive cellphones in the near future.

@Insight5504 5 месяцев назад

@@amosbatto3051care to explain? I am not even sure why a distinction was made with cathode energy density. As far as I know the anode is the positive side and the cathode is the negative side (energy will go from negative to positive). But somehow more than half of 765 was lost somewhere? Is that to say that the CATL possibly has a cathode with over 1000Wh/kg? I think the 765 is just the energy density period. It's just a circuit. Since the cathode is the side that supplies the energy that flows to the anode

@amosbatto3051 5 месяцев назад

@@Insight5504 , Just publishing the cathode energy density was the decision of the TAQ researchers. I imagine that they only published the cathode energy density because that is the only part that they changed. They are using a normal electrolyte and a normal anode, so their paper only focuses on the TAQ cathode. The anode is usually heavier than the cathode. The best NCM batteries have a cathode energy density of 750 Wh/kg and a cell energy density of 300 Wh/kg. Based on that proportion, I calculated 306 Wh/kg would be the cell energy density of a TAQ battery. We don't know much about CATL's "condensed battery" except that it has a polymer gel-like electrolyte, new anode materials and an “ultra-high density cathode material”, so maybe it has 1000 Wh/kg in the cathode, but CATL is pretty tight lipped about it. It sounds different from most of the other solid state and semi-solid state batteries, which have a normal NMC cathode, a solid electrolyte (usually ceramic or polymer) and a lithium metal or silicon anode, which is much thinner and lighter than the traditional graphite anode.

@elliotkane4443 Месяц назад

Sorry, but as an MIT alumnus I object strenuously to the relentless PR campaign of their public relations office which touts breakthroughs every week that never actually get to production because they are claiming some radical increase in density, but when you read the fine print it is only for a small part of the system, and the durability of the cell has not been proven in practice outside the lab. Don't believe almost any PR release you see. When Toyota or VW or BYD puts it in their mainline products, then you know it is real. Until then, be skeptical. I have no doubt that eventually some battery breakthrough will happen, but so many battery startups are now in year 8 and still no product outside the lab...

After reading the research paper, it looks credible to me, but it is an early prototype in a lab. It probably will take a minimum of 5 years to reach mass production, if no major problems are found with the tech that prevent commercialization, but I do think Sam Evans should be covering it. He just needs to actually research it. 765 Wh/kg is the cathode energy density, so we can guesstimate 306 Wh/kg at the cell level, which is only slightly better than today's best NMC batteries with 300 Wh/kg. By the time the TAQ batteries reach mass production, I expect that LFP will probably be at 300 Wh/kg and support 12C charging, so the real advantage of these batteries will be the lower cost, since they don't contain metals in the cathode.

They are talking about "cathode energy density". That's not even cell level...the anode is usually pretty heavy, so my guess is we are talking a 250-350 wh/kg cell.

LiPos can discharge much faster than that, 20C or more.

@vincentrobinette1507 5 месяцев назад

The only reason RC model batteries have that high discharge rate, is because they're small. there is a lot of exposed surface area compared to the volume of the cell. I don't know if you've noticed, but the new Tesla 4680 cylindrical cells don't charge as fast as the older but smaller 18650 cells. Mathematically, the the surface area of a cell goes up on the square of its size, but the volume goes up on the cube, making it more difficult for heat to escape the innermost part of the cell, which limits current density. Another advantage of RC batteries, is the "pouch" cells. A flat, thin cell has much more surface area, than a cylindrical cell. Blade cells, such as the GM "Ultium" Lithium Iron Phosphate cells have good thermal characteristics allowing higher current density. Like pouch cells, there's a lot of area, and, close proximity of the center of the cells to those outer surfaces.

It will probably be another 5 years before these TAQ batteries reach mass production, and by that time LFP will probably be at 300 Wh/kg and support 12C charging, so the real advantage of these batteries will be the lower cost, since they don't contain metals in the cathode.

It will be interesting to see if they can in its currently configured form mass produce the battery, or will it be relegated to a niche production level, for the unique application in the lambho.

@neilmckechnie6638 5 месяцев назад

If it is that good then a manufacturer would happily accelerate its adoption and mass production.

@charlesmoss8119 5 месяцев назад

Blimey - the tech is coming so fast - thanks for the excellent reporting! Why Lamborghini - maybe to test with limited production?

@user-yi8uu1du3b 5 месяцев назад

When I started using semiconductors the cry was "You can have the best, and the cheapest and now. Choose which 2 from 3" Lamborghinis are not cheap so that settles that choice - 1 from 3 IMNSHO.

Imagine, planing hydrofoil container ships delivering goods around the world ten times faster than current ICE cargo ships. The cost of goods would become up to 50% cheaper.

@jacobnunya808 5 месяцев назад

Is that for a complete battery? He says "test of this material showed that its conductive and capacity were similar to cobalt containing batteries"

@hanfucolorful9656 5 месяцев назад

It can be achieved if you don't consider the cost

Rest assured, those that were in public denial, are secretly working on their EV designs. They just don't want to admit it.

@user-ex2yt6rw3k 5 месяцев назад

Sam has after all this time and numerous commenter corrections, no real excuse for still confusing energy density with power density as per 2:50 - 2:54. Needless to say, by the time this latest 'breakthrough/game-changer' matures, it will be overtaken with who knows how many other such 'breakthroughs'. Anyone betting big on any current battery tech, in production or just lab announced, is a wild gambler who needs to exercise patience and restraint. Lots of it.

I really hope this catches on and we can finally have electric airplanes.

@amosbatto3051 5 месяцев назад

765 Wh/kg is the cathode energy density, so this new TAQ cell should have a cell energy density around 306 Wh/kg, which is only slightly better than today's cutting edge NMC which reaches 300 Wh/kg. For aviation, you are going to need something like CATL's condensed battery with 500 Wh/kg, which are very expensive and probably have short cycle life. Elysian estimates that you can have 800km of flying range with 450 Wh/kg and 1000km of flying range with 550 Wh/kg.

@daskerg4419 5 месяцев назад

Sam what are they using on the anode side? Graphite?

@amosbatto3051 5 месяцев назад

The research paper says they used a standard commercial LP30 electrolyte and a standard prelithiated graphite anode.

@davidsimoneta8513 5 месяцев назад

I wonder if the announced power density is somehow related to the fact that many years ago Lamborghini and MIT started a common research program on structural composite batteries...

@dunckeroo1987 5 месяцев назад

It all about power to weight ratio. How much of the battery power is used to drag the battery around and how much structural support is needed to deal with the weight of the battery.

@RagnarinVa 5 месяцев назад

One note - Lamborghini has licensed the technology from MIT - they don't own it. They get it at a discount. That is how MIT labs work. I think this is very exciting and points to a potential exponentional leap in capability.

@J-rex980 5 месяцев назад

So where does this go?

@docsnider8926 5 месяцев назад

The real innovation is the organic Kathode. If one can form an organic anode you can build batteries without metal.

@emceegreen8864 5 месяцев назад

When I heard they use rubber in the cathode couldn’t help but think that would help with the 4680 dry process that has been so problematic. Also at a 10C cell would probably have to be a can type anyway. Even if it’s not the giant leap forward as it seems it could be a big big jump. Thanks Sam!

@amosbatto3051 5 месяцев назад

These TAQ batteries use aluminum foil current collectors in the cathode, copper foil current collectors in the anode and lithium in the electrolyte contains lithium, so they contain 3 metals, plus the steel can. Today's lithium ion anodes contain graphite with 10%-15% silicon added, so they already don't contain metal (except for the current collector).

@ernieschatz3783 5 месяцев назад

That's good news seeing the w/kg feature cut in half. They need to push hard for even more improvements to that. Gadoline still has 17 times the energy density. A quart bottle of gasoline has about 9x the density, so there's still a long way to go with both weight and volume of fuel needed.

@marcelreijnen 5 месяцев назад

That may be, but for most applications gasoline has an efficiency of just 20%.

@tomrodinger5402 5 месяцев назад

Acceleration of the car is limited by tire grip and not horsepower. There likely is not reason to go above a certain horsepower. There are some tricks: (1) spoilers, (2) a vacuum thing to suck the car to the ground, and of course (3) Tesla's SpaceX package.

@jjamespacbell 5 месяцев назад

No standard tire will give you 1.3 seconds from 0 to 60. the limitation is tires not power, dragsters have massive custom tires that are not practical for street cars, and the Tesla Roadster can supposedly get to 1.2 seconds from 0 to 60 by using cold thrusters. Batteries with the power you are talking about will be used for aviation where cost of the batteries will be justified by fuel savings.

@fredericrike5974 5 месяцев назад

Good to hear, but not unexpected- many buckets of money in the US and far abroad have been hammering away with this. It is a break the entire EV change landscape badly needed to sell well.

Sure, sports cars, but this kind of ultracapacitor technology, is also the key to unlocking aviation energy transition. That prospect is considerably more exciting imho.

@gridfreeordie 5 месяцев назад

The paper states 765W/kg with subscript cathode..."higher than most cobalt cathodes". Thus, 765W/kg is not the specific energy of the entire battery, just the cathode. Nonetheless, fantastic performance for a cobalt free cathode.

@ianwhisson8064 5 месяцев назад

Hello Sam, Such exciting news.... I just hope this technology finds its way to cars for the mass market. If all this is as it seems on face value the only thing that could be more exciting would be an ambient temperature super conductor? This is surely not out of the question? Thanks btw for your outstanding optimism, it helps many of us out here!

@neilmckechnie6638 5 месяцев назад

The next brand new Lamborghini model may well be a single-seater personal flying quadcopter, with this battery technology and super efficient radial motors.
