Rapid Surface Graphitization of Carbon Anode for In Situ Regeneration of Batteries

11/2024, DOE-ARPAE

HighT-Tech will develop ultrathin and compact protective coating material for the graphite surface using Pulse Heating technology. The technology would enable in situ lithium iron phosphate/graphite battery cell regeneration and lengthen the lifetime.

 

Since lithium iron phosphate/graphite cells are relatively low-cost to produce, recycling the cells is prohibitively expensive. In this case,  generating the battery, which recovers or restores the battery’s capacity, could be a more efficient and sustainable solution. This technological advancement would support the expanding $15 billion lithium iron phosphate/graphite battery market.
