Pilot Production of Self-Supported Dry Electrode Film for Supercapacitors and Lithium-ion Batteries

FY 2022-23 · 2022-09-01

Summary
This project aims to achieve pilot production of the electrodes for both supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) using a patent-granted technology developed by AdvEn. The technology is termed Electrode Superior Adhesive Coating (ESAC), which can fabricate electrode at much-reduced capital and production cost and eliminates toxic solvents commonly used in the conventional technologies. This proposal will enable AdvEn to fabricate self-supported, high-strength electrode films reaching a production speed of at least 10-15 m/min. The pilot process is instrumental in finalizing the design of a demo-production line and start of constructing a demo-production plant in 2024.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à réaliser une production pilote d’électrodes pour les supercondensateurs (SC) et les batteries lithium-ion en utilisant une technologie brevetée développée par AdvEn. Cette technologie, appelée Electrode Superior Adhesive Coating (ESAC), permet de fabriquer des électrodes à des coûts d’investissement et de production nettement inférieurs et élimine les solvants toxiques couramment utilisés dans les technologies conventionnelles. Cette proposition permettra à AdvEn de fabriquer des électrodes à couches autoportants et très résistants, atteignant une vitesse de production d’au moins 10-15 m/min. Le processus pilote permet de finaliser la conception d’une ligne de production de démonstration et de commencer la construction d’une usine de production de démonstration en 2024
