Nippon Shokubai and Arkema: a Strategic Partnership to Mass-produce LiFSI Electrolyte Salts for a European Battery Supply Chain
Nippon Shokubai and Arkema are collaborating to initiate feasibility studies for a joint venture aimed at constructing a facility to produce LiFSI ultrapure electrolyte salts, essential for electric vehicle batteries.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Nippon Shokubai and
Ultrapure and high performance LiFSI electrolyte salts, a key component of car battery cells, will speed up the development of new electrolyte formulations for the next generations of batteries, including semi-solid and solid state batteries, by significantly increasing their power, stability, cycle life and recyclability, while reducing charging time in high or low temperature conditions.
This industrial project will support the development of the European battery value chain and participate in the global need for carbon-neutral mobility.
Combining Arkema’s fluorochemicals expertise and Nippon Shokubai’s unique know-how in the industrial-scale production of high-purity LiFSI, both partners have joined forces in a strategic partnership that has led to the development of an innovative and integrated process. Based on this cutting-edge patented technology, a LiFSI fluorinated pilot production line has been installed on the Pierre-Bénite site and successfully came on stream in 2021.
To support the exponential growth in demand for battery cell materials,
