Problem
Traditional battery electrode manufacturing relies on energy‑intensive thermal curing and toxic solvents, leading to high production costs, low yields due to poor adhesion, limited electrode thickness, and significant environmental impact from greenhouse‑gas emissions and forever chemicals.
Solution
Ateios offers the RaiCure™ platform, which replaces thermal curing with radiation‑curable polymers that can be applied as a drop‑in coating process for existing battery production lines. By eliminating solvent use and heat curing, the technology reduces both capital and operating expenses while enabling thicker, higher‑density electrodes (over 200 µm) with improved adhesion. The process cuts energy consumption by up to 82 % and removes PFAs, lowering CO₂ emissions to 17 lb CO₂/kWh. RaiCure™ is compatible with a wide range of battery chemistries and formats, allowing manufacturers to upgrade performance and sustainability without redesigning cell chemistry.
Target Audience
Primary customers are battery manufacturers and cell producers seeking to increase electrode energy density, reduce production costs, and meet sustainability targets, particularly in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial battery markets.
