Anaphite, established in 2018 by chemist Sam Burrow and physicist Alexander Hewitt, is a British technology company specializing in advanced battery electrode production. The company developed an innovative dry coating process to reduce energy consumption and costs in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, focusing on improving cathode materials and reducing environmental impact. It is headquartered in Bristol, United Kingdom.

Battery Technology

Anaphite’s core innovation is their proprietary Dry Coating Process (DCP) technology, producing fully formulated carbon nanotube enhanced composite cathode powders for NMC and LFP batteries. This solvent-free process reduces energy consumption by up to 90%, improves electrical conductivity and battery performance, and is compatible with existing manufacturing lines. It is also adaptable for next-generation batteries like sodium-ion and solid-state.

Products

Anaphite produces composite cathode materials using their DCP technology, designed specifically for NMC and LFP lithium-ion batteries. Their products feature carbon nanotube enhanced composite powders aimed at reducing production costs and environmental impact while improving battery performance and manufacturing efficiency.

Recent Projects

Recent projects include successful industrial-scale demonstrations of their dry coating technology in 2023, partnerships with leading battery cell manufacturers and automotive OEMs, and production scale-up at their Bristol facility. Anaphite is expanding in South Korea with consultancy support to strengthen relationships with battery makers there. Their technology is being validated by Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs for cost savings, production speed, and regulatory compliance with commercial EV production targeted by 2028.

Investors

Anaphite secured a $13.7M Series A round co-led by World Fund and Maniv, with participation from EEI, Nesta, Elbow Beach Capital and Wealth Club. Earlier funding included a $31.6M round led by Elbow Beach Capital and grants from Innovate UK. Investors focus on clean technology and mobility, supporting scale-up, R&D and commercial deployment of Anaphite’s dry electrode coating technology.
