How does XNO® anode material help batteries achieve such a high cycle life? 📈 1) Open crystal structure allows ions to move in and out freely so there is no damage to the material 2) Operates at higher voltages which prevents lithium plating and the formation of dendrites This impressive structural and chemical stability means XNO® has a life of over 10,000 cycles compared to other anode materials such as graphite which only has a life of 500 to 5,000 cycles. When it comes to the heavy-duty industry, long-lasting materials are the key to reducing the total cost of ownership. So XNO® is perfectly placed to help electrify sectors such as mining and off highway transportation. 🚚 When do you think electrification will become the norm in the heavy-duty industry?

We are pleased to announce that our XNO® anode material has been found to be chemically resistant to water following stringent lab testing on the impact of moisture on our technology. During testing, XNO® samples were submerged in water for six months and then dried at a temperature of 60 °C. The material samples then passed a series of quality control checks, which indicated that its chemical and physical properties were unchanged by the presence of water. Reflecting on the results of the study, our Product Manager, Joris Pezin, said: “We are committed to conducting continuous testing, improvement works and enhancements to ensure that XNO® can be adopted as a ‘drop in’ solution by cell manufacturers. XNO®’s chemical resistance to water means that is can be safely included in water-based manufacturing processes and easily stored.” “It also has a micrometric structure which means that no agglomerates occur during the manufacturing of batteries which ultimately means that it is easier to mix and produces a better yield than competitor materials. Furthermore, because of its high crystal density and micrometric size, XNO® is able to be easily calendared to 3.0g/cm3, which is similar to that of a cathode material.” To read the full results of the study, visit: https://lnkd.in/ePYvVt2J. #Niobium #Batteries #Sustainability #GreenTech #BatteryTechnology

Switching a mining haul truck from diesel to electric reduces its total cost of ownership by $2.5 million, breaking even in just 3 years [1]. So why are mining companies uncertain about making this switch? 🤔 📉 Conventional battery chemistries require frequent recharging which decreases productivity. 📈 But, Echion’s XNO® anode materials allow lithium-ion batteries to fast charge safely, quickly and efficiently. Discover how XNO® makes electrification a beneficial alternative for the mining industry in our latest article ⬇️ [1] P.J., 2024. Why Electric Haul Trucks Will Be a Success [Online].
