RapidCure: High-Speed Electron Beam Processing of Battery Electrodes
Established in 1963, the R&D 100 Awards is the only S&T (science and technology) awards competition that recognizes new commercial products, technologies, and materials for their technological significance that are available for sale or license. The R&D 100 Awards, celebrating the program's 60th Anniversary this year, has long been a benchmark of excellence for industry sectors as diverse as telecommunications, high-energy physics, software, manufacturing, and biotechnology. This 2022 R&D 100 winner is listed below, along with its respective category.
Category: Process/Prototyping
Developers: Oak Ridge National Laboratory
United States
Product Description:The technology is a low-cost, environmentally benign process for manufacturing thick lithium-ion battery electrodes. It produces electrodes more quickly, more cleanly, and more economically than the conventional process and could increase the availability of batteries for electric vehicles, power tools and consumer electronics. It was licensed to Ateois in 2021.
