Altech Chemicals Ltd (ASX:ATC) Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Report
ENCOURAGING PHASE 1 BATTERY PERFORMANCE TESTS USING HPA COATED GRAPHITE
Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow ReportPerth, April 30, 2021 AEST (ABN Newswire) - During the quarter, Altech Chemicals Ltd (
FRA:A3Y) announced that it had successfully completed the first phase of battery performance testing of graphite particles coated with high purity alumina (HPA), using Altech s proprietary coating technology.
For the 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
