Written by Therser UK | 13-Aug-2024 11:21:56


At THERSER UK, innovation drives our approach to battery materials. In this part of our series, we dive into the technological advancements that are reshaping the battery industry, focusing on how new materials and processes are enhancing energy storage solutions.

Recent Technological Advances

  • High-Nickel Cathodes: Nickel-rich cathodes (e.g., NMC 811) are at the forefront of increasing battery energy density. These cathodes reduce the amount of cobalt, a costly and less abundant material, while improving battery performance. THERSER UK’s precision thermal processing ensures the optimal phase composition and crystal structure, crucial for high-nickel cathodes.

  • Silicon Anodes: Silicon anodes can store up to ten times more lithium ions than traditional graphite anodes, making them a game-changer for battery capacity. However, they face challenges like expansion during charging. THERSER UK’s expertise in material treatment helps mitigate these issues by developing processes that enhance the stability and durability of silicon anodes.

  • Solid-State Batteries: Solid-state batteries replace liquid electrolytes with solid ones, offering enhanced safety and energy density. This technology is seen as the future of energy storage, with potential applications in EVs and portable electronics. THERSER UK is at the cutting edge, providing heat treatment solutions that are crucial for the production of solid-state battery materials.
