New York-based Alpha-en has efficiently transformed Century Lithium‘s lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) into battery-grade lithium-metal anodes.
The lithium metallic was produced utilizing lithium carbonate derived from Century Lithium’s Angel Island challenge in Esmeralda County, Nevada and the related demonstration plant in Nye County, Nevada.
Century Lithium supplied Alpha-En with a pattern of 99.8% pure lithium carbonate from Angel Island. Alpha-En transformed the pattern into lithium metallic utilizing Alpha-En’s room-temperature conversion course of. In pilot testing, Century Lithium’s materials exceeded the standard of battery-grade lithium carbonate from a industrial non-domestic supply.
Century Lithium is progressing Angel Island by ongoing allowing, engineering, and technical growth at its demonstration plant. It’ll additional assist Alpha-En’s efforts to develop a home lithium provide chain, the corporate stated.
“This collaboration displays the standard of our materials and the energy of our technical capabilities as we proceed to assist innovation throughout the US battery supplies provide chain,” Invoice Willoughby, Century Lithium President and CEO.
