Century Lithium Announces Successful Creation of Battery-Grade Lithium Metal Anodes Derived from Angel Island Lithium Carbonate
Century Lithium Corp., a leading lithium producer, is making significant strides in supporting the innovation of the US battery materials supply chain through its collaboration with Alpha-En Corporation. The collaboration has seen the successful production of battery-grade lithium-metal anodes (Li-MA) by Alpha-En, using Century Lithium's high-purity lithium carbonate from its Angel Island project in Nye County, Nevada.
Century Lithium's President and CEO, Bill Willoughby, expressed his satisfaction with the collaboration, stating, "This collaboration reflects the quality of our material and technical capabilities."
Alpha-En Corporation used a sample of 99.8% pure lithium carbonate provided by Century Lithium for the production of Li-MA. The production process involved Alpha-En's patented room-temperature conversion method, resulting in lithium-metal anodes with impressive areal capacity and extraction efficiency.
In pilot testing, Century Lithium's material outperformed battery-grade lithium carbonate from a commercial non-domestic source, demonstrating the quality and suitability of the Angel Island lithium for advanced battery applications.
Century Lithium looks forward to continued collaboration with Alpha-En Corporation as they advance their efforts to develop a domestic lithium supply chain. The company maintains a positive long-term outlook on lithium-based batteries, which it believes will play a critical role in the growth of the electric vehicle and stationary energy storage markets.
The success of this collaboration marks a significant step towards reducing the reliance on imports and supporting domestic supply chains for lithium-metal anode production, which is crucial for the US electric vehicle and energy storage sectors.
