Pure Lithium Company, a disruptive Boston-based, vertically built-in lithium steel battery know-how firm, is happy to announce a strategic settlement with Kingston Course of Metallurgy (KPM) to collaboratively scale, design, assemble, and fee Pure Lithium’s proprietary pilot-scale lithium steel anode manufacturing reactor.
Pure Lithium is advancing battery know-how with a lithium steel vanadium oxide battery enabled by a novel, scalable, and cost-effective lithium steel electroplating course of, Brine to Battery™, that bypasses conventional lithium compound manufacturing. In collaboration with KPM, identified for its deep experience in designing and optimizing complicated chemical and metallurgical programs, the corporate is growing a completely built-in demonstration reactor able to producing extremely pure lithium steel anodes of various thicknesses. The reactor will exhibit the technical and financial viability of Pure Lithium’s end-to-end course of, encompassing selective lithium extraction, electrochemical plating and environment friendly supplies recycling. The undertaking units the inspiration for future pilot plant and industrial growth, supporting Pure Lithium’s mission to sustainably deliver lithium from Brine to Battery™.
Emilie Bodoin, Pure Lithium Founder and CEO, feedback: “Our lithium steel anode know-how was a crucial first step to commercializing our lithium steel batteries. With out this know-how at scale, these batteries would by no means attain commercialization as a result of excessive price and low high quality of lithium steel produced by current strategies. I used to be first launched to Kingston Course of Metallurgy throughout my time with Argonne Nationwide Laboratory and I’m happy to work with them, given their deep experience in metallurgical system design and growth. The staff at KPM will play a vital position in scaling our progressive lithium electroplating know-how into a completely operational pilot-scale reactor. Their hands-on method and expertise in scaling complicated processes offers us confidence as we transfer towards pilot-scale manufacturing and proceed constructing a really next-generation lithium steel battery at commercially viable value level.”
About Pure Lithium
Pure Lithium is a disruptive Boston-based lithium steel battery know-how firm led by its founders, inventor and lithium professional, CEO Emilie Bodoin, and world-renowned battery and metallurgical professional, MIT Emeritus Professor Donald R. Sadoway, as full-time CSO. The Firm’s novel Brine to Battery™ know-how combines steel extraction and anode manufacturing, bypassing conventional lithium compound manufacturing. The ensuing pure lithium steel anode is the core element of our lithium steel vanadium oxide battery, a step-change enchancment over at this time’s lithium-ion know-how in cell efficiency, price and security. Moreover, the battery is freed from graphite, cobalt, nickel and manganese. For extra info, go to www.purelithium.io or electronic mail [email protected].
