Sion Power develops vacuum deposition process for lithium anodes
US battery technology firm Sion Power has developed a process that replaces conventional mechanical rolling with a vacuum deposition process that produces lithium anodes with a high level of control and efficiency, which has been a key barrier to lithium metal battery performance and scalability. Traditional anode manufacturing relies on mechanical rolling, which limits the lithium… Read more »
Alpha-En produces lithium metal anodes with lithium carbonate from Century Lithium’s Nevada plant
New York-based Alpha-En has successfully converted Century Lithium‘s lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) into battery-grade lithium-metal anodes. The lithium metal was produced using lithium carbonate derived from Century Lithium’s Angel Island project in Esmeralda County, Nevada and the associated demonstration plant in Nye County, Nevada. Century Lithium provided Alpha-En with a sample of 99.8% pure lithium carbonate… Read more »
