Battery Materials
Electrode performance starts with what you put in. We supply cathode and anode actives, current collectors, electrolytes and salts, separators, binders, and conductive additives — research quantities through pilot scale, with specifications and lot documentation available on every material.
Specifying battery materials
Particle size and surface area drive your slurry, not just your capacity. D50 and BET determine binder demand, solids loading, and how the coating behaves. A cathode that performs well in a coin cell can be unprocessable at 60% solids if the surface area is wrong for your formulation. Tell us your coating method and we will point you to the right grade.
Moisture is the specification most people forget. Most cathode actives, most salts, and every sulfide electrolyte degrade on exposure. Check the storage requirement before ordering, and confirm you have dry room or glovebox capacity to handle the material once it arrives.
Match the current collector to the electrode, not to the price. Aluminium for cathodes, copper for anodes, and carbon-coated versions where interfacial resistance matters. Foil thickness trades energy density against handling — thinner foil tears during calendering if your line is not set up for it.
Ask for the CoA before you scale. Lot-to-lot variation in actives is real, and a result you cannot reproduce six months later is usually a materials problem, not a cell design problem. We can supply lot documentation and, where needed, reserve material from a single lot for a project.
Tell us your cell chemistry, format, and stage — from first coin cells to pilot pouches — and we will specify the material set.
