Nifty chemistry. It seems to have half the energy density of LiFePo4, but double the lifespan. Titanium seems like an expensive cathode material though. Their other standout property seems to be fast charging, which alas would be most useful in vehicles.
- jacquesm 4y agoQuite interesting indeed. For RVs they are already used, but not so much in regular EVs for obvious reasons. The perfect battery will probably never become a reality, but the incremental changes may get us specialist solutions that are good enough for all practical applications. Titanium isn't all that expensive in raw form, it's when you start machining it that it gets expensive quickly. Typically it's about 1.5 times whatever the going rate for Aluminum is.
