ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:
Improving the efficiency of lithium-ion battery manufacturing to decarbonize our future energy and transportation sectors.
PROBLEM FOCUS
Cathodes represent the biggest bottleneck in the battery manufacturing process in terms of time, cost, and carbon footprint. The cathode makes up ~50% of both the cost and carbon intensity of the lithium-ion battery with it requiring ~60 kWh of energy to produce 1 kWh of battery material.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION
SVX NextGen solution is a single step, closed-loop, and waterless process that enables the use of less processed critical mineral inputs, such as metal oxides/hydroxides and recycled materials. SVX’s proprietary process takes up 1/20th of the footprint and shortens manufacturing time from 12+ hours to just 2 hours. These factors lead to a 60% reduction in cost, 5x plant throughput, 85% less energy used, and saves 200M gallons of water per plant annually.
