2/ Combined with battery partners (AESC), Nissan plans to have 52 GWh global battery capacity by 2026, 130 GWh by 2030. https://t.co/BHUcfKEJPX

4/ This morning, Nissan unveiled its prototype lab for its laminated all-solid-state-battery cells, which are currently being made by hand. The goal is to start production at its Yokohama pilot plant by 2024, and have the ASSBs in its EVs by 2028. https://t.co/49qJ4LLxGK

6/ One of the technological breakthroughs @Nissan spoke of was using a fibril structure binder near the cathode, which would significantly reduce cell resistance, and a thin multifunctional passivation protection layer between the anode and the electrolyte.

8/ That being said, if Nissan can figure out this interphase control layer, it would be a real gamechanger. Especially for ASSLMBs, the electrode/electrolyte interface needs to be re-engineered.

10/ In other words, if Nissan wants to do a SSE with a lithium-metal anode, it's going to have to figure out the long-term interfacial stability between the two.

12/ Nissan began researching solid electrolytes over two decades ago, so if any company is going to commercialize a solid-state cell, it may likely be Nissan. pic.twitter.com/8PXFw0mZrt
