BATTERY MATERIALS
Creating growth and value in upstream battery and battery cell manufacturing
Battery cell development and production is at the heart of mobility and the energy transition. Markets have grown with over 20% CAGR over the past 10 years and are projected to accelerate. Technologies have been geared to specific end market requirements as hardware costs have come down by factors – making batteries an even more attractive part of mobility and renewable energy.
This market success is built on technology. State-of-the art battery cells require a vast number of technologies, materials and components to be suitable for mobility and other applications. Important materials include lithium and metals as active cathode materials, anode materials such as graphite and silicon, separators including advanced coatings, electrolytes, cell and module packaging and interconnection.
For market participants to be successful in this dynamic environment, a deep understanding of market needs to be translated into novel materials, product development and solid manufacturing processes.
