Activated Dry Electrode™
Energy storage is an exponentially growing industrial opportunity that depends on the cost-competitiveness and sustainability of manufacturing processes along the battery value chain. State-of-art Gigafactory’s rely on the energy-intensive “Wet Electrode” process, which has several drawbacks:
LICAP Technologies’ patented Activated Dry ElectrodeTM process, which has significant advantages to the traditional “Wet Electrode” process. We begin by processing a blend of battery materials and add a proprietary compound to activate the formulation The mixture is fed into a special equipment designed by our engineers. The result is a stand-alone electrode film that can be laminated on a current collector foil using our high-speed production equipment. There is no need for drying ovens, or solvent recovery systems. Any trimmings or excess electrode film can be 100% recycled eliminating the costly waste removal operations. Activated Dry ElectrodeTM process is technology-agnostic and can be used in production of electrodes for Lithium-ion Battery, Ultracapacitors, Lithium-ion Capacitors, and, in the near future, for Solid-state Battery Electrodes.
