ABOUT
Anaphite is a technology company with a unique chemistry-based approach to developing fully formulated cathode powders for dry coating. Anaphite has developed a proprietary compositing process to safely, effectively and efficiently combine cathode active materials (CAMs) with binder, carbon black and high aspect ratio carbons, such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene. This process produces homogeneous, well-structured Dry Coating Precursor powders that can be directly applied into a customer’s dry coating process at the electrode film formation stage. It enables Anaphite’s customers to unlock the cost and sustainability benefits of dry coating with no compromise in electrode performance.
Dry coating removes solvents from the electrode manufacturing process, removing the need for large and very energy intensive drying ovens. The benefits of dry coating over current state-of-the-art wet coating:
- Up to 30% less factory space required
- Up to 40% reduction in battery cell production cost
- Up to 30% energy reduction for cell production
