connecting molecules to machines
The world today is reeling with a shortage of
semi-conductors and shockwaves in prices are being felt
across the automobile and consumer electronics industries
owing to raw material deficits. As EV markets grow
exponentially, analysts predict that we may see similar
trends across critical battery materials like cobalt and
nickel very soon.
Amidst price fluctuations and demand-supply uncertainties,
the industry needs to focus on two factors to achieve a
competitive edge:
Firstly, achieve cost efficiencies by eliminating
dependency on cobalt and nickel.
Secondly, focus on superior battery performance.
To hedge against market externalities, it is critical for
manufacturers to adopt cuttingedge technologies that are
not built on the backbone of NMC or NCA dominance
LiSER TECH
What is LiSER ?
LiSER stands for Lithium Slim Energy Reserve. C4V’s LiSER technology encompasses an in-house patented battery cell design that allows OEMs to bypass modules and build the pack directly. This platform includes designs that include long and slim cells with super-fast charge and discharge capabilities without losing the energy density benefits. LiSER also allows OEMs to achieve maximum cell to pack translation of performance.
What about the design?
LiSER comes with an industry first tabless advanced prismatic cell design that has an in-situ cooling loop to facilitate efficient temperature operations ranging from -40°C to 90°C, assisting in extra fast charging. The tethered edges of the module come with a solid structural design that enable mechanical stability. The design’s high modularity allows to cater to stringent market requirements (kWh or MWh) without any bias for power or energy needs.
What is unique about LiSER?
1. Eliminates Cobalt and
Nickel: A first-of-its-kind, LiSER’s Cobalt
and
Nickel free lithium-ion battery cell technology
promises an energy density of up
to 228Wh/kg and a power density of up to 2000KW/kg.
Even if the current
covid-led supply-chain disruptions wane out, the
sharp prices of cobalt and
nickel will continue to compromise EV manufacturers
cost leadership potential in
the long-run
2. Exciting CTP conversion ratio: With a
module-free battery pack
technology, LiSER promises a superior potential
leading up to an energy density
of 190Wh/Kg (at the pack level), which is the
highest available in the market
currently
| Type | LiSER technology | Competition |
| VCTP | 82% | 62.4% |
| GCTP | 83% | 84.5% |
3. Top performance: LiSER simplifies the module structure and has been proven to increase the volume utilization rate of a battery pack by 30%. This in turn makes it the best fit for high-speed processes supporting ultra-fast manufacturing solvent free coating speeds of 100 metres/minute and thereby reducing costs to the tune of 20%.
4. Superior capabilities: By using the in-house patented C4V’s BMLMP technology, LiSER enables the highest voltage of any Li-ion cells at 3.9 Volts. The inherent oxygen deficient BMLMP not only augments battery safety but also delivers a voltage that is at least 20% higher than the LFP formulations currently widely being used in the market.
5. Highly green footprint: While Nickel-rich NCA or NMC chemistries emit Nickel oxide fumes, when burning with LiSER the toxic gaseous build-up is non-carcinogenic. LiSER uses elements that are environmental-friendly, sourced with a robust local supply-chain and enable a significantly lower carbon footprint
