Technology Developer Accelerator Programme (TDAP)
Anaphite
The world’s first Dry–Coating Precursor (DCP) through enhanced cathode powders
Anaphite uses creative chemistry to accelerate the energy transition. They specialise in formulation and process techniques that enable the dry coating of cathodes, solving the challenges in scalability, flexibility and safety that prevent dry-coating being adopted at industrial scales.
Anaphite’s technology platform creates Dry Coating Precursor (DCP®) products to create dry-coated, lithium-ion battery electrodes that achieve electrochemical performance-parity with wet coating and enhance sustainability of cell manufacture. Working closely with EV manufacturers and cell makers, Anaphite are working towards GWh scales of their products.
