Following laboratory trials Integrals Power, a next-generation battery nanomaterials company, has started production of its proprietary advanced cathode active materials (CAMs) at its pilot plant in Milton Keynes. This is one of the first of its kind in the UK and has been developed with localising the supply chain. All of the materials are sourced form European and North American suppliers.
The facility can produce 20 tonnes/year of lithium iron phosphate and lithium manganese iron phosphate for evaluation and can be scaled up rapidly if demand warrants it. The materials have been assessed as ultra-high purity in a third-party analysis using X-ray diffusion technology to study attributes such as chemical composition and the lattice structure of the molecules.
