Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LFP) has brought an enormous turnaround in battery cell production in recent years and is increasingly replacing applications based on Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC). The market is growing rapidly: A global LFP market volume of around 124.42 billion US dollars is expected by 2032*. An increasing number of battery cell manufacturers are switching to LFP as their preferred cathode material - primarily due to its cost stability, safety and durability. LFP already covers a wide range of applications, particularly in electromobility, where OEMs are reporting increasing demand for large quantities.
We ensure a Sustainable European Value Chain
Battery material based on LFP is to be considered as a safe cathode material for Lithium-Ion-Batteries in Electricle Vehicles and Energy Storage Systems. We provide innovative technology for the production of LFP battery material in an environmentally friendly process by using innovative production technology. In collaboration with our partners from the chemical and automotive industries, we are working on establishing a sustainable european value chain for the production of more environmentally friendly LFP battery materials. > Read more
Electrical Vehicle Batteries
Automotive traction batteries require high production capacities: the critical size for long-term LFP production: 25.000 tonnes per year. For this reason we focus on strategic capacity expansion in planning for securing long-term growth from 4.000 tonnes with approx. 2 GWh battery capacity or 40.000 cars at 50 kWh to 20.000 tonnes with approx. 10 GWh battery capacity or 200.000 cars at 50 kWh in the upcoming years.
Our LFP is tailor-made to customer specifications
- Analytics – we perform physical, chemical and electrochemical analysis of battery materials.
- Performance Reports: We develop electrode prototypes with your material and provide independent test reports.
- Electrode Coating: We design solutions to coat anode or cathode materials according to your specific requirements.
- We support our customers to convert precursors from recycling processes into active material. > Read more
We produce LFP in Germany to the highest standards
Production takes place via a multi-stage process chain: first, liquid suspensions are mixed and ground in batch operation using ball mills. This is followed by drying using laboratory spray dryers equipped with a large number of sensors for precise process control. Calcination is carried out in rotary kilns. Finally, adapted to customer requirements, a jet or impact mill process is used for fine grinding.
We provide power with stability - Scaling is just one process
In order to scale our activities quickly, we rely on the rapid expansion of internal production capacities and the qualification of systems of all sizes. Systematic test planning (design of experiments) is carried out along the entire process chain and across all scaling stages in order to gain precise findings. Extensive test and production phases are used for the targeted optimization of relevant process parameters.
- Batch process (80 g per batch): Raw materials and Composition
- Continuous process (0.1 – 2 kg/h): Process stability, Composition and Quality
- Temperature range (3-30 kg/h): Optimal Conditions and Quality
- Thoughput (100-1.000 kg/h): Optimal Duration and Quality
