Problem
Lithium-ion battery manufacturers face increasing pressure to meet stricter safety standards without sacrificing performance or adding cost. The separator, a single critical component inside the cell, remains a bottleneck in manufacturing efficiency and safety, and very few approaches satisfy safety, performance, and cost requirements simultaneously.
Solution
Nuvola provides SafeCoat™ DDS (Direct Deposition Separator), a spray-on separator manufacturing platform that replaces conventional separator systems. The technology integrates seamlessly into existing roll-to-roll manufacturing lines, eliminating the need for billion-dollar separator factories. SafeCoat™ cuts fire risk by 99% at 220 °C and boosts energy density through an ultra-thin coating that fully encapsulates thin electrode edges. The platform functions across all battery cell types and chemical environments, enabling next-generation battery production that is faster, leaner, and built to scale.
Target Audience
Primary customers are lithium-ion battery cell manufacturers and global EV makers, as well as producers serving grid-scale energy storage and data center applications.
