Titomic Ltd is collaborating with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) to apply its Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) technology in lithium-ion battery (LIB) electrode manufacturing. This approach uses cold spray technology to directly deposit electrode powders onto foils, eliminating the multiple steps involved in traditional slurry-based methods.

The project, supported by the National Science Foundation, is structured in four phases: material feasibility, demonstrator selection, Pilot TKF CS station development, and scalability analysis. The goal is to produce advanced silicon-copper composite electrodes that are solvent and binder-free, enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of LIB production.
