Exponential market growth, price reductions as a game changer – and what comes next and after the lithium-ion battery?
Prof. Dr. Dirk Uwe Sauer, ISEA Institute of RWTH Aachen University Wednesday 9. 4. 2025, 17:00-18:30,
Admission free, lecture/discussion Zoom, later video
The expansion of stationary energy storage systems as an element of the power supply system is increasing significantly as a result of an unexpectedly sharp fall in the costs and prices of lithium-ion battery cells. The global market for electric vehicles is also continuing to grow strongly. In China, around 50% of new vehicles sold last year were electric vehicles. Price reductions, not new technologies, are the key to these developments. In the presentation, we will discuss the reasons for the price reductions and the consequences, in particular for the establishment of our own battery cell production in Europe.
In addition, the status of alternatives to lithium-ion batteries will also be discussed, namely lithium-titanate, solid-state electrolyte, lithium-sulphur and sodium-ion batteries. The technologies can offer higher performance, lower weight or the replacement of rare or more expensive raw materials and are very interesting as alternatives and additions to the current portfolio.
