Large Scale Lithium Vanadium Batteries for EVs? Pure Lithium, in its efforts to develop next-generation lithium-vanadium (LVO) batteries, is planning to make significant use of vanadium as part of its battery chemistry. The company, through its acquisition of vanadium cathode technology from Dimien, is working to scale up the production of its batteries, which pair a lithium metal anode with a vanadium oxide cathode. While specific annual usage volumes of vanadium have not been disclosed, Pure Lithium is preparing for large-scale manufacturing at its Boston facility, aiming to position vanadium as a key component in the battery market. Vanadium is seen as crucial for improving energy density and safety in these batteries, particularly for electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
