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.

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:
