CAM-7/LTO LITHIUM-ION CELLS FOR BATTERIES WITH HIGH CHARGE/DISCHARGE PERFORMANCE AT EXTREME LOW TEMPERATURE

TIAX is developing laminated prismatic lithium-ion (Li-ion) cell technology capable of rapid charging at low temperature (to -50 °C) to replace current lead-acid vehicle batteries. The novel cells are based on TIAX’s high energy, high power CAM-7 cathode material, high rate capability lithium titanate (LTO) anode material, and novel electrolyte formulation, and target cell-level energy content greater than 90 Wh/kg and 250 Wh/l. CAM-7 cathode material promises significant boost in power and run time of Li-Ion batteries for a wide range of DoD applications, and is now being commercialized by a separate company, CAMX Power, which is scaling up production in a 50 metric ton per year plant installed in Massachusetts.
