Anaphite, a British battery technology company, is developing a dry-coating method for manufacturing electric vehicle battery electrodes. This innovative process aims to eliminate the need for solvent-heavy slurries and large drying ovens, which currently constitute a significant portion of battery manufacturing costs and energy consumption. The company believes its technology could reduce overall battery production costs by over 10% for certain cell types and potentially improve performance, especially with the advent of solid-state cells.
