24M Technologies

The 24M production process (licensed) is a novel and simplified battery cell production process. The process is solvent and binder-free, reducing the use of environmentally hazardous materials and substantially improving recycling potential.

Simplified process reduces equipment, space and energy requirements

24M has drastically reduced the steps in the battery cell manufacturing process compared to conventional technology, enabling a more compact production line without large equipment items such as coater, mixer, NMP and NMP recovery, slitting, and press. No heating and drying are needed, greatly reducing energy consumption, and the electrode process is emission-free, thereby reducing the facilities’ direct CO₂ emissions.

Reduced material consumption

The 24M process enables thicker electrodes that require less inactive materials (copper, aluminum and separator), thereby reducing emissions from the production and transportation of these materials. There is no need for binder and NMP solvent which usually is a factor of high environmental concern.

Accelerating recycling

A battery without binder enables direct recycling which is less energy and chemical-intensive. The recycled active materials can be reused directly in the production process with a simplified refinement, which enables on-site recycling in Mo. This enables increased recycling with lower related emissions compared to conventional facilities.
