Tesla is ready to use their dry cathode process at commercial scale and in commercial line of EVs. Tesla will be using their own internal IP and patented dry cathode process. No connection to Nano One.
The automaker will equip the Cybertruckwith dry cathodes later this year, Bonne Eggleston, the senior director of Tesla’s 4680 cells, told The Information.
Dry cathodes are made without liquid solvents, which are typically used in conventional lithium-ion batteries. Instead, the cathode material is applied in a dry powder form, which in theory reduces complexity and manufacturing costs while being eco-friendly. This is not to be confused with dry electrolytes used in solid-state batteries—dry electrode batteries still use liquid electrolytes to shuttle electrons between charge and discharge cycles. But studies suggest it’s a step towards making solid-state batteries.
