Altech Chemicals Ltd (ASX:ATC) Breakthrough Silicon Alumina Coating Development
FRA:A3Y) is pleased to announce the successful application of its alumina nano layer coating technology to the coating of silicon particles, typical of those used in anode applications within lithium-ion batteries.
The successful application of Altech s technology to coat silicon particles follows its 22 December 2020, announcement where the Company provided details of its success in the alumina nano layer coating of graphite particles typical of those used in a lithium-ion battery.
Extending the application of the technology to the coating of silicon particles is a significant breakthrough for Altech, especially in the context of a recent public statement of US electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, that its aim is to increase the amount of silicon in its batteries to achieve step-change improvements in energy density and battery life. Silicon has a significant advantage over graphite for use
Altech Chemicals Ltd (ASX:ATC) Half Yearly Report and Accounts
Half Yearly Report and AccountsPerth, Mar 15, 2021 AEST (ABN Newswire) - During the half-year ended 31 December 2020, Altech Chemicals Ltd (
FRA:A3Y) announced that it has finalised stage-2 construction early works at its high purity alumina (HPA) plant site in Johor, Malaysia. Stage-2 work involved the completion of the site electrical substation - a key long lead time item. In July 2020, the EPC contractor Metix Malaysia, a wholly owned subsidiary of Germany s SMS group, successfully completed an orderly and structured demobilisation from the site which has remained on care and maintenance since - with 24/7 security, regular site inspections and weed and sediment control in place. The construction office has been retained, so the site is well positioned for the recommencement of construction once project financing is concluded.
Altech Chemicals Ltd (ASX:ATC) Encouraging Phase 1 Battery Performance Tests
Highlights
- Coated graphite performance is encouraging and meets expectations
- Further test runs to demonstrate repeatability
- Potential improvements to lithium-ion battery life, capacity and chargeability
For the first round of testing, a batch of battery electrodes were produced using non-coated standard anode grade graphite particles (the control), and a separate batch was produced that contained anode grade graphite particles coated with HPA using Altech s technology. One hundred cycles of cell charge and discharge were completed. Results for the coated graphite anodes compared to the non-coated anodes were positive and encouraging. Test work will now proceed to the next stage where additional runs of battery charge and discharge will be undertaken with the aim of obtaining results that demonstrate repeatability and consistency.
