BroadBit installs and qualifies a novel green cathode production process
BroadBit develops revolutionary new batteries to power the future green economy BroadBit Batteries has installed and qualified a new cathode pilot production process that is exceptionally low cost and environmentally friendly. The pilot process can produce a constant thickness of cathodes over one meter in length. Uniquely, it does not use slurries, heating ovens, complex ventilation or any of the traditional high cost and energy-intensive manufacturing steps used in the traditional lithium-ion cathode manufacturing process. This reduces energy use, space and CapEx (Capital Expenditure) costs and eliminates the environmental and safety problems associated with traditional toxic and combustible slurry [...]
