- U.S.-based battery startup Pure Lithium is working on a graphite-free LFP battery.
- The startup is in discussions with 40 companies to commercialize its technology.
- It promises to double the energy density, halve the weight and vastly reduce costs.
Chicago-based battery startup Pure Lithium is working on a potentially disruptive battery that it claims is cheaper and more energy dense than what's out there while relying on a North American supply chain. It’s not solid-state, and it’s not a silicon-anode battery. It’s actually a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery without the graphite traditionally used in lithium-ion packs.
