- ONE’s anode-free cell is the primary to ship 1007 Wh/L into a big format prismatic can cell
- The anode-free cell expertise surpasses industry-leading vitality density, whereas decreasing prices of the Gemini battery pack by eliminating the necessity for graphite and anode cell manufacturing tools
- ONE’s Gemini dual-chemistry architecture has opened an easy path to widespread use of anode-free cells by lowering cycle life and peak energy necessities by 90%
NOVI, Mich., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Our Next Energy (ONE), a Michigan-based vitality storage firm, immediately unveiled a 240-Ah prismatic anode-free cell after a profitable 12-month R&D effort. The firm believes its anode-free cell is the best vitality density large-format cell ever produced. The breakthrough expertise will allow the commercialization of ONE’s Gemini™ dual-chemistry architecture, which will probably be built-in right into a BMW iX prototype automobile later this yr.
ONE’s first-generation 1007 Wh/L cell eliminates the necessity for graphite and anode manufacturing tools, enabling $50 per okWh cell value at scale. “Our prismatic anode-free cell is produced with approximately half of current cell manufacturing equipment for equivalent capacity, allowing us to sharply reduce scale-up cost,” stated Mujeeb Ijaz, founder and CEO of ONE.
Anode-free cells usually have low cycle life in comparison with typical cells, which has not made them viable in an automotive setting. ONE’s Gemini dual-chemistry architecture has opened an easy path to widespread use of anode-free cells by lowering cycle and peak energy necessities by 90%. Gemini pairs extra standardized LFP and anode-free chemistries into one battery pack, enabled by the corporate’s proprietary DC-DC converter. This permits every specialty chemistry to deal with completely different features: LFP for day by day driving, and anode-free to increase vary for lengthy distances. This mixed system is anticipated to ship greater than 250,000 miles of lifetime service.
“Scaling 100x from a 2 Ah pouch cell to a 240 Ah prismatic in less than 12 months is a testament to the simplicity of the design and ability to use conventional Li-ion production equipment,” stated Dr. Steven Kaye, ONE Chief Technical Officer. “We are moving faster than the fastest research programs that I have been a part of. Gemini will reach volume production in 2026 accelerating electric vehicle adoption by delivering 600 miles of range in a wide range of vehicle platforms, including trucks and SVUs.”
ONE will showcase its anode-free cell and Gemini battery architecture expertise at The Battery Show in Novi, MI on September 13-15.
