Chimiche, densità, costi, gigafactory: immagazzinare l’energia meglio, a costi minori e più in fretta.
La batteria è diventata un’industria a pieno titolo, e questa rubrica la tratta come tale: chimiche (litio-ferro-fosfato, sodio-ione, elettroliti solidi), densità in crescita, costi al chilowattora in caduta, gigafactory che spuntano dalla Cina all’Ungheria. Seguiamo anche la seconda vita e il riciclo delle celle — il circuito che trasformerà un problema di materie prime in un giacimento.
Il nostro angolo: la misura prima della promessa. Un annuncio di laboratorio entra qui solo con i numeri — cicli, densità, costo — e l’articolo dice sempre a che distanza sta dalla produzione. Gli attori asiatici, che concentrano gran parte del mercato e dell’innovazione, occupano il posto che la stampa non dà loro quasi mai: CATL, BYD, EVE, ma anche i fornitori di macchinari e i chimici di cui nessuno scrive il nome.
