The global battery market is developing extremely quickly. However, the market environment is rather convoluted with limited defined standards. To date, only a few technologies have clearly established themselves, and new materials and processes are constantly hitting the market. Any company looking to enter the battery industry also faces risks due to the high level of investment required. This situation is further compounded by pronounced competitive, time, and cost pressures, as well as strict regulatory requirements. On the technical side, a large number of parameters needs to be optimized. This in turn requires lots of testing, which often simply cannot be performed from either a qualitative or quantitative perspective.
At hte, we downscale industrial processes for the production and testing of battery materials to laboratory scale, parallelize them, and then generate high-quality data with commercial relevance. By adopting this approach, we facilitate cost-efficient innovations and quicker times-to-market for new products.
In the field of battery materials, focus is on high-throughput synthesis of pCAMs and CAMs on a scale ranging from grams to kilograms, as well as optimization of electrode performance in both half and full cells for Li-ion batteries and ASSB through electrochemical testing.
hte offers flexible lab systems that can be adapted to the respective research challenge. Thanks to their high degree of parallelization, digitalization, and automation, our systems provide data quickly, which R&D teams can then use as a basis for decision-making.
The modular design of hte’s laboratory systems allows a wide range of analytical equipment to be integrated. This then provides fast analytics with detailed information which, when coupled with highly automated lab workflows, ensures excellent reproducibility of results.
Our experts in the synthesis of battery materials can produce optimized materials on a laboratory scale to meet your requirements and then evaluate these using our various performance testing methods. We deliver high-quality data with commercial relevance here.
The performance of battery materials in a cell is determined by the interaction of numerous interdependent parameters. Our automated lab workflows allow large volumes of process data to be captured during both synthesis and testing, which in turn enables these parameters to be described comprehensively. hte also offers customized software solutions for defining comprehensive analysis values from the data set, ranging from material preparation up to cell testing. After all, the key to successful and targeted research lies in the flexibility, robustness, and scalability of the processes, supported by comprehensive data management.
