Eliminates ~29% of
capex in a typical GWh-scale
Li-Ion production plant
"The largest contributor to processing cost
during battery production is the electrolyte
interphase formation step...
This process may take up to three weeks,
requiring a tremendous number of cycles,
floor space and intense energy for the
cyclers and environmental chambers."
