DOE awarding $1.16B to 9 battery component manufacturing projects as part of $2.8B funding

Green Car Congress

It has been demonstrated that these advanced anodes can be paired with any commercial cathode material, resulting in significant improvements in cell energy density, power density, cycle life and charge rate. SCC55 can be deployed directly in current LIB production equipment with very low switching costs and rapid implementation timelines.
