Operational is the world's first large-scale roll-to-roll prelithiation equipment for nanoscale components

In a significant breakthrough for the battery industry, Nanoscale Components, Inc. has commissioned its GWh-scale prelithiation line at their state-of-the-art facility in Bedford, NH, USA. The prelithiation process, designed for industrial-scale battery manufacturing, promises numerous benefits, including improved rate performance, enhanced cell capacity, and increased energy density.

Located at Nanoscale's 34,000 square foot (3200 square meter) site, the prelithiation line safely prelithiates electrodes at an extremely low cost. This process not only reduces the cost per kWh of cell manufacturing but also lowers the time and cost of formation, thereby decreasing the carbon footprint of manufacturing.

The advanced battery labs at Nanoscale's facility are a key resource for validating the benefits of the prelithiation process in a real-world manufacturing context. These labs are equipped to handle the construction and testing of large-scale battery cells, providing a controlled environment for testing the efficiency and effectiveness of the prelithiation process.

The prelithiation process has been shown to significantly reduce the cost of resulting cells, improve cycle life, and reduce scrap rates by enabling earlier defect detection. Furthermore, it enhances cell capacity and energy density, making it an attractive solution for battery manufacturers seeking to improve their products' performance.

Potential buyers can arrange trials to test the performance of Nanoscale's prelithiation equipment. The company's prelithiation equipment, now available for sale, can be used to validate technology through the construction and testing of cells.

The benefits of Nanoscale Components' patent-protected electrochemical prelithiation process are numerous, making it a promising development for the battery industry. The world's first GWh-scale roll-to-roll prelithiation plant was commissioned by BASF, highlighting the global interest in this innovative technology.

In conclusion, Nanoscale Components' prelithiation process represents a significant step forward in advanced battery manufacturing. With its potential to reduce costs, improve performance, and decrease the carbon footprint of manufacturing, this technology is set to transform the battery industry.
