Researchers led by Professor Jeff Dahn at Dalhousie University in Canada report that low-voltage NMC cells particularly those balanced and charged to 3.8V rather than ≥4.2V show better coulombic efficiency, less capacity fade and higher energy density compared to LFP cells and are projected to yield lifetimes approaching a century at 25.
According to a new research paper published by Tesla's battery research team head by Jeff Dahn, the group has discovered a new nickel battery chemistry that can last 100 years. The new battery couples the high energy density of nickel batteries with the long life cycle of lithium iron phosphate cells.
Clearly, no one really needs an EV battery that lasts 100 years, but that won't stop Jeff Dahn and his team from being leaders in battery tech and innovation.
