Projectdetails

Introduction

EASYL’s patented technology provides green processes to locally produce critical powder materials used in zinc-based batteries.

Production Process

We use a mechanical process to create Calcium Zincate powder (active material that can store electricity), with only water as a solvent. Additionally, we have the know-how for the green production of Titanium Nitride (essential conductive additive).

Composite Powders

These innovations are combined to produce three ready-to-use composite powders:

  1. Zincatin (ZnNi batteries)
  2. Zincatair (Zn-Air batteries)
  3. Zincatem (Zn-MnO2 batteries)

Licensing

EASYL’s production processes for these powder materials and composite powders will be licensed to industrial powder producers and battery manufacturers, respectively.

Technology Testing

Our current technology has been tested with our team specialized in prototype cells and allows for the production of batteries with a capacity of 1000 charge/discharge cycles while retaining 70% of the cell’s capacity.

Future Goals

We intend to reach 3600 cycles by the end of this project and 5000 in later generations.
