Lilium & Livent Seek To Advance Hi-Performance Lithium Batteries
Lilium, a German-based company credited with introducing the first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet has sought to collaborate with Livent,
headquartered in the USA and specializing in producing lithium compounds for use in markets seeking green energy, modern mobility, light alloys and other derivatives. The fruits of this agreement is expected to result in the advancement of lithium metal technology for use in high-performance battery cells.
Livent, a pioneer in lithium technology innovation brings nearly eighty years of experience of lithium production to the table, in the hopes of assuring Lilium’s access to high-performance battery cell technology that will ultimately power Lilium’s eVTOL jets. Livent possesses a fully integrated lithium production process and uses its differentiated technology processes to both source raw lithium and manufacture a range of specialty lithium products.
Lilium’s COO Yves Yemsi stated “this collaboration is a milestone in Lilium’s commitment to revolutionize regional air travel. Innovation is at the heart of our mission, and to keep innovating we need to collaborate with the best in the industry. Livent’s unique expertise in lithium production, as well as their commitment to sustainably responsible practices, makes them an ideal partner.” That sentiment was echoed by Livent’s Director of R&D and New Business Development, Marina Yakovleva “Together, we hope to drive meaningful progress in realizing the potential of next generation battery technologies and decarbonizing air travel.”
