US-based Sakuu, which provides commercial-scale equipment and technologies to the battery manufacturing industry, will make its Kavian dry-process battery technology platform available for commercial orders in January 2025.

The platform can dry-print anodes and various cathodes from lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) electrodes. It also has the flexibility to support new chemistries such as aluminum-ion and sodium-ion.

The Kavian process augments Sakuu’s licensable high-energy, high-power lithium metal battery cell chemistry. The UN38.3-certified battery cell has achieved 1,500 cycles at 100% DoD to 80% State of Health (SOH) at 0.3 C/1 C, up from 1,000 cycles DoD in April 2024.
