Shaping the Future of Business

While all-solid-state batteries continue to attract great expectations and attention as a game changer in 2024 as well as in the wake of increasing global demand for EVs, mass production of semi-solid-state batteries and the next-generation version of LFP batteries, lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP), will begin earlier. In addition, the development of fluoride ion batteries and sodium ion batteries are rapidly catching up, and we are entering an era in which the next generation of batteries is truly a battle between the best of the best.

However, it is also true that each electrode faces its own unique challenges, such as adhesion with the electrolyte due to electrode expansion and contraction caused by charging and discharging, and the inability to find the optimal electrode material.

At this year's nano tech 2024, many products and technologies that aim to solve these issues through nanotechnology will be exhibited, and there are great expectations for the discovery of superior materials and new process technologies.

BLUE TAG

The nanoparticle AI image analysis software AIPAS is equipped with a highly accurate AI engine that enables precise measurement by accurately distinguishing grain boundaries even for dense particles of circular and polygonal shapes. It also supports all solid-state battery cathode material particle and NMC particle cross-section analysis, as well as anode material and electrolyte particle analysis.

Filgen

We have an extensive lineup of materials such as cathode/anode active materials, sulfide/oxide solid electrolytes (LPSCl, LPS, LLZO, etc.), and electrolyte salts. Single ion-conductive polymers are also available as binders and electrolytes for semi-solid-state batteries.

ALD Japan

Desktop Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) equipment is a technology for coating powders with various materials (Al2O3, TiO2, NbOx, etc.) at the nm level, but it can also impart nanoparticles (e.g. Pt, Pd ) to powders, making it applicable for developing Li battery materials, fuel cell catalysts, water splitting catalysts, etc.

European Center for Dispersion Technologie

Project BATMACHINE: Sustainable Battery Cell Industrial Manufacturing Value Chain.

BATMACHINE project is a Horizon Europe-funded initiative that aims to boost Europe’s sustainable industrial battery cell manufacturing value chain by developing an optimised machinery with intelligent control processes to minimise costs, waste and energy consumption.
