Advanced vacuum coating and physical vapor deposition (PVD) equipment, including specialized roll-to-roll systems for metal foils, polymer films, and current collectors. Ultra-thin carbon coatings (<100 nm) improve electrical conductivity, interface stability, energy/power density, mechanical safety, lifecycle, and fast-charging. Technology scales from pilot R&D to high-volume production for lithium-ion, thin-film, redox flow batteries, and PVD coatings for fuel-cell bipolar plates.
Roll-to-roll vacuum coating systems for electrode preparation; XPRIME PVD technology for ultra-thin carbon coatings on current collectors; systems supporting diverse chemistries (lithium-ion, thin-film, redox flow) and fuel-cell bipolar plate coatings.
Deployment of high-productivity vacuum coating systems for next-generation lithium-ion batteries using XPRIME PVD technology; participation in the RoSiLIB collaboration with Fraunhofer IFAM and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden to develop cost-effective manufacturing of nanoporous silicon microparticle-based high-energy anodes.
