Leiden Energy has replaced the aluminum current collectors and lithium hexafluorophosphate used in traditional battery electrolytes with graphite current collectors and sodium thioimide, increasing battery life while maintaining good performance at temperatures above 60°C. Furthermore, the new battery has 50% higher energy density than the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles.
Sodium thioimide for new batteries
American company Leiden Energy has developed a current collector that has a higher energy density than existing lithium batteries and can operate safely at high temperatures, making it ideal for electric vehicles.
