Part 4/10:
This paradigm shift eradicates the need for casing, plastics, and inert materials typically present in each cylindrical or prismatic cell, thereby dramatically increasing the proportion of active energy materials within the battery. As a result, the energy density could potentially double or nearly triple compared to current lithium-ion batteries—a leap that could enable EVs to reach a range of 1,000 miles (about 1,600 km) on a single charge.
