To date, scarcely any technologies or materials have been able to clearly establish themselves in the global battery market. However, many new materials and manufacturing processes are currently being developed and scaled up to commercial levels. A large number of parameters must be optimized for this, which in turn requires high synthesis capacity. Other challenges in battery material synthesis include:
In the field of batteries, hte offers a workflow for parameter optimization in material synthesis that covers the steps of precipitation, calcination, and post-treatment. Our laboratory systems for battery material synthesis are characterized by the fact that battery materials can be manufactured reproducibly in scalable process steps. This facilitates fast and efficient screening of various synthesis parameters, as well as their independent optimization based on data.
In principle, the systems can be used not only for production of battery materials, but also for catalyst synthesis via precipitation and calcination.
At hte, we use our expertise in engineering, automation, digitalization, and material synthesis for battery material synthesis. We have been a leader in high throughput technology for 25 years, and have been successfully applying this expertise to the field of battery materials research for more than 10 years. However, we do not develop materials or processes in-house for the production of battery materials. This means that we can engage in open and trusting cooperation with our customers.
In our precipitation systems, high-quality precursors for battery materials are produced in the laboratory at a scale of up to 10 kilograms per day. The precipitation process is highly automated and is closely monitored using integrated analytics, so that the materials can be produced in a reproducible and scalable way. In addition, various operating modes and reactor configurations can be used flexibly. Our precipitation systems are integrated into your existing laboratory infrastructure and delivered as turnkey solutions.
In our calcination systems, you can quickly and efficiently evaluate the influence of temperature and gas composition on the properties of your battery materials in large parameter spaces. The systems are fully automated, allow safe handling of CMR substances, and record both synthesis parameters and material properties closely, which they then make available in a structured form for further evaluation.
In our post-treatment systems, many materials can be automatically washed in a controlled atmosphere and then post-treated with wet coating processes.
Our laboratory systems for battery material synthesis combine expertise in engineering, automation, and digitalization with materials expertise and application knowledge. Materials are produced efficiently, quickly, and under precisely controlled conditions in our systems, while synthesis is highly automated. A large volume of process data and material properties are closely recorded here and then made available for evaluation in a structured manner. In this way, battery materials can be manufactured both reproducibly and scalably on a laboratory scale and specifically optimized in large parameter spaces.
Our customers rely on our test systems for for the synthesis of battery materials to provide them with comparable and reproducible data under identical conditions.
