How our technology works

Anaphite’s technology combines all the ingredients of a battery electrode into a single, engineered dry powder, optimised for high-speed dry coating lines. Our proprietary, chemistry-focused approach delivers superior structured electrodes for high-performance and power applications.

There are 3 critical steps to making a good dry battery electrode:

  • Producing a well-mixed dry electrode powder from the electrode components with suitable structure.
  • Consistent, continuous, defect-free electrode film formation at the right density and with the right loading of active materials.
  • Robust application of the electrode film to the current collector at speed.

Made with our proprietary chemical compositing techniques, Anaphite’s DCP® powders have superior homogeneity compared to alternatives made with standard physical mixing processes. By optimising the structure, we create a free flowing, film forming powder that can be coated continuously and quickly.

The Anaphite Technology Platform

How Anaphite compares

= active material
= binder
= carbon

A poorly mixed powder:

  • Results in agglomerations. The electrode active materials, binders and conductive additives are unevenly distributed, limiting the electrode’s conductivity.
  • Exhibits poor rheology, limiting the powder’s flow in dry coating equipment.
  • Will not form robust films that coat well. This results in physical defects in the electrode, like cracking and delamination.
  • Produces electrodes with poor performance.

Anaphite’s engineered DCP® Powders:

  • Have excellent material dispersion and homogeneity.
  • Are designed with optimum rheology to flow well in dry electrode coating equipment.
  • Demonstrate excellent coating behaviour and material integrity.
  • Produce high performance electrodes that can be tailored for specific specifications.

The Benefits of DCP®

The Anaphite Technology Platform is flexible and scalable, by adopting it cell makers can:

  • Cut costs and carbon emissions with the ability to dry coat at scale
  • Access new active material, additive and binder landscapes for enhancing cell performance
  • Manufacture thicker electrodes for higher volumetric and gravimetric energy density
  • Boost resilience to upcoming PFAS & NMP regulations
