Advanced LFP+
The highest energy density LFP cell chemistry is now available.
ACE has developed a high-performance A-LFP+ (LiFePO4) Battery Chemistry offering a 30% Higher Energy Density compared to LFP on the market today. A-LFP+ delivers what others claim to achieve but can not deliver: safe, cost-efficient lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cell technology that is cell format-agnostic and compatible with today's standard production equipment.
​
A-LFP+ does not require nickel (Ni) or cobalt (Co) materials which increases the safety profile by significantly reducing the risk of battery fires.

Advanced LNFP
High energy density, high power cell chemistry, currently in development.
A-LNFP is a high-power chemistry that offers high energy density, high power, and high cycle life for electric vehicles, trucks, trains, and industrial storage applications.
A-LNFP is a nickel-based (Ni) chemistry that does not use cobalt (Co) or manganese (Mn), preventing manganese dissolution which allows the battery to last 2,000 cycles. A-LNFP offers a base voltage of 4V.
Sample Cells Available Q1 2024
A-LNFP is currently under development and will be available Q1 2024. To request more information about LNFP and request samples for evaluation, please contact The ACE Partnerships Team.

Our Technology Roadmap includes compounding advancements in LFP-based chemistry solutions that are meticulously selected with development goals mapped out against a specific commercialization timeline.
Material Synthesis Process
1
Industry / Customer Requirements
Our innovation process relies on the strong partnerships we form with our customers and our understanding of their battery and application requirements.
​
2
Theoretical Conception
We begin the initial stage of translating customer needs into scaleable, affordable battery technologies with equation-based calculations. Our team's extensive experience and rare electrochemical expertise enables a us to quickly test-iterate theoretical solutions all while defining key parameters of the development and scale-up process.
3
Material Development
To achieve 30% greater energy density, ACE custom-synthesizes an improved nanoscale cathode active material powder (CAM). Our Battery Technology Center is equipped with cutting-edge laboratory-scale chemical synthesis equipment. We produce low-volume quantities of our proprietary high energy carbon-coated CAM formulations for customer testing and evaluation.
To meet the high-volume production requirements of our customers, we use widely available precursor materials along with multiple methods of production: wet-chemical, hydrothermal, and polyol synthesis.
4
Material Validation
ACE proprietary active material powders undergo a through two-stage analysis and testing proces. First we conduct material characterization: an elemental analysis of the material's interior structure, including. To understand the material's chemical, physical, mechanical, and electrical properties, characterization includes the following methods of analysis:​
-
TAP Density
-
Surface Area
-
​Phase Form (XRD)
-
Elemental Analysis​
-
Particle Size Distribution​​
-
Phase Form (XRD)​
-
SEM Imaging​
-
Raman Spectroscopy​
-
TGA / DSC Analysis
The second stage of material analysis and testing involves building battery cells. The active material powders are mixed with binders and conductors to create a wet slurry mixture that is coated on a thin layer of aluminum (cathode) or copper (anode) foil followed by a drying process to create electrodes.
​
From here, the coated electrodes are used to build battery cells and conduct tests to measure:
-
Rate Capability
-
Cycle Life Performance
-
Capacity Retention
