South 8 Technologies secured a $9.2 million grant from California’s PowerForward Battery Manufacturing program to expand its LiGas® liquefied‑gas electrolyte production in San Diego. The funding will enable the startup to reach an annual electrolyte capacity of 100 MWh and produce 2 MWh of battery cells, with integrated manufacturing alongside Nanotech Energy. LiGas offers a –60 °C to +60 °C operating range and specific energy above 425 Wh/kg, addressing cold‑climate EVs and aerospace needs. The company aims for gigafactory‑level integration by 2028.
A new whitepaper sponsored by Chroma highlights the use of high‑precision three‑electrode testing to diagnose lithium plating during fast charging of Li‑ion batteries. The study explains that conventional two‑electrode cells only provide combined voltage‑capacity data, obscuring the anode’s behavior. By...
