Battery prelithiation shortens costly formation time

By Charles Morris Before a lithium-ion battery is installed in a vehicle, it must undergo a lengthy process called formation, in which it is charged and discharged to control the initial chemical reactions with lithium. Many of these reactions are irreversible and permanently decrease the battery’s available energy. The process requires expensive lithium to be part of the cathode, and it significantly increases manufacturing time. Finding a way to reduce or eliminate this process could substantially reduce the …read more
