Battery Manufacturing Materials

About Battery Manufacturing Materials

Advanced battery manufacturing relies on precise material synthesis and thin-film deposition technologies to achieve high energy density, extended cycle life, and enhanced safety. The materials used in these processes—including sputtering targets, evaporation materials, and specialised precursor powders—must exhibit high purity, precise stoichiometry, and excellent electrochemical stability.

Key materials such as lithium compound sputtering targets (e.g., LiFePO₄, Li₄SiO₄), lithium evaporation sources (e.g., LiCoO₂, LiF), and cathode precursors (e.g., NCM523, NCM811) are essential for fabricating thin-film solid-state batteries, coating electrode surfaces, and synthesising high-performance cathode materials. Lithium salts and functional compounds like lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, and lithium oxalate serve as vital raw materials or additives in electrolyte formulation and electrode preparation. These materials ensure controlled lithium-ion transport, stable interface formation, and overall structural integrity in lithium-ion and solid-state battery systems.
