Tesla is developing a new manganese battery to replace scarce resources

Tesla founder Elon Musk recently announced that Tesla sees the potential of a manganese-based cathode in battery chemistry.Musk reiterated that the industry needs to pay more attention to the battery supply chain, up to minerals.Musk made a brief but interesting comment on manganese batteries: " I think manganese has the potential."Tesla has been exploring the use of more manganese in its batteries.

Comments: Manganese in nature is rich in mineral resources, manganese system lithium battery relative to lithium iron phosphate or ternary system batteries are cheaper.Lithium manganate battery has high safety, superior low temperature and multiplier discharge performance. After mixing a certain proportion of ternary battery energy density and NCM.At present, Japan and South Korea have largely used this route in the field of power, and the technology has been relatively mature and verified by the market.In recent years, with the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, the demand for cost-effective batteries is expected to achieve explosive growth.
