Li-Metal - Low-Cost and Scalable Technology
Lithium Anodes: Conventional metallic anodes are made of lithium foil – the properties of lithium make it very difficult to produce foils in the wide and thin formats needed to maximize the performance of next generation batteries.
As the world moves away from oil-based fuels and toward renewable energy sources and battery-powered technology, the need for new lithium batteries and lithium foil anodes has become more prevalent.
Existing outdated lithium metal production technologies rely on high-purity lithium chloride, producing 5 tonnes of toxic chlorine gas for each tonne of lithium.
- Lithium metal locally produced, leveraging a widely available chemical used in conventional lithium-ion batteries
- Patent-pending technology, with expanding technology portfolio
- No complicated treatment equipment, low operating costs
- Flexible bespoke anode production adaptable to different next-generation battery designs
- Patent pending low-cost, high-performance composite lithium metal anode technology
- Highly scalable single-machine process ensures high-quality production at high volume
Li-Metal anodes offer better energy density than foil anodes because they can be practically made thinner – no excess lithium.
Cost and quality improve with decreasing anode thickness leading to high battery cell energy density and reduced material use – exactly what is needed for high-performance batteries.
Underlying technology adapted from very large scale – no fundamental technology breakthrough needed for large-format battery anodes.
