Na-ion batteries will not fully replace LFP, just as LFP didn’t fully replace NMC 🥊
This isn’t Survivor. You don’t vote one chemistry off the island.
Batteries are a portfolio, not a popularity contest.
Pick the chemistry for the job, not the hype cycle. 🔋🥊

LFP is the battery chemistry equivalent of showing up every day and doing the work.
No cobalt. No drama. No fires.
A polyanion cathode that traded range for safety, cycle life, and grid-scale dominance.
Why boring beats impressive when failure is expensive #battchat

We are looking for companies capturing the mining to cathode active materials (CAM) supply chain in one entity.
If you are a brine to LFP or a brine to NMC company, we want to hear from you!
Tag any #battchat companies that you know of in this space.

Who decided that academic papers have to be such boring reads? Asking for a friend...
If you’ve published a battery paper recently that you’re proud of we would love to hear the main takeaways in BBB sass style 💁🏻♀️🔋

Cathodes are where battery performance goes to live or die. Energy density, power, lifetime, safety, it all traces back here.
We mapped the real tradeoffs across NMC, NCA, LFP, spinels, and Li-rich oxides.
No rankings. No hype. Just physics.

Before a battery cell ships, it has to survive the Final Five: DCIR, OCV, self-discharge, EIS, and capacity grading; these tests catch every defect that slipped through upstream. They're the last interrogation before a cell enters the world. 🔋 🌎 #battchat
