Aside from NMC and LFP, several other cathode chemistries could be considered for the long-haul trucking application. Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminium (NCA) is a strong candidate with an energy density and cycle life similar to NMC. It benefits from a lower material cost as it replaces the expensive cobalt with aluminum. However, NCA batteries require stringent temperature monitoring as they have high reactivities with the electrolyte at elevated temperatures causing accelerated degradation and potential thermal runaway raising safety concerns. The added cost and difficulties in assembling an NCA battery pack nullify the benefits gained from the cheaper raw material costs. However, we acknowledge that NCA is a potential option for long-haul trucking. Whilst we do not perform a dedicated study for NCA, we expect comparable outcomes to NMC, given their similar properties that constitute inputs to our overarching model. Another promising chemistry is Lithium-Manganese-Iron-Phosphate (LMFP), which resembles LFP but replaces some of the iron with manganese. This modification enhances the cell's working voltage, resulting in a 15-20% increase in energy density. However, this is achieved at the cost of ionic conductivity (reduced power rating) and cycle life. Yang et al. provide a comprehensive discussion on the factors limiting LMFP performance such as the bulk material, interface, and cell construction. Despite challenges, industry-led research has made strides, with CALB announcing an LMFP battery pack achieving an energy density of 180 Wh/kg in 2022, albeit in the form of an early-stage prototype. Furthermore, companies like CATL, Ronbay Technology, and Dynamonic have spearheaded commercialization with significant investments in capital assets to expand LMFP production. LMFP has also gained traction amongst automotive manufacturers such as Huawei and Chery, with CATL's LMFP cells anticipated for use in their upcoming electric vehicles. While LMFP shows great promise, its early stage in commercialization precludes a dedicated study in our analysis. Next, we discuss the different promising technological developments, such as higher capacity anodes and solid electrolytes, which will help realize these forecasted battery parameters.
