Breathe Battery Technologies | Breathe Model | Booth 616
https://breathebatteries.com/

Designing high-quality battery powered experiences requires a delicate balance of great cell design, seamless system integration and optimal control. Yet today, this process is unsustainable. Iterative, slow, and costly—constrained by ever-more empirical testing, fragmented data and limited supplier transparency. The result? Inefficiencies, suboptimal design decisions, and batteries that don’t reach their full potential. Breathe Model is a brand new cell simulation software solution that lets battery engineers overcome these development challenges by helping them gather all the evidence they need to make better battery system decisions. It helps remove the constraints of empirical testing by providing abstracted, high-level simulations. Battery teams can use it to get answers to the questions they care about, ultimately enabling them to create better batteries. It works by simulating the underpinning electrochemical and thermal dynamics of a lithium-ion battery. The dynamics are physics-based, accounting for the anode and cathode open-circuit-voltages with hysteresis and kinetic effects. The models are parameterised for a particular cell using specialised experimental procedures, including cell teardown, at Breathe’s east London battery laboratory. The software can aid battery and system engineers in understanding how a cell behaves as a single cell, or within the rest of the battery system. Unlike equivalent-circuit-models, which are commonly used but don’t provide further insight on top of the measurable signals, the physics-based model approach provides insight into the electrode dynamics. This offers capabilities for performance improvement of the cell and system, such as developing enhanced charging controllers, reducing test time and evaluating system attributes.

Ionworks Technologies Inc | Battery Cycler Simulator v1 | Booth 1016
https://app.ionworks.com/battery-cycler-simulator

Battery testing protocols are critical for evaluating the performance and safety of battery cells. However, the interface for configuring these protocols is often complicated, which leads to incorrectly configured protocols where the test that is run is not the one that was intended by the user. Some examples are incorrect current or voltage limits, or misplaced loops. This can lead to significant setbacks such as wasted time, resources, and unreliable data. Market research indicates that approximately 5-15% of battery testing experiments are configured incorrectly, underscoring the need for a reliable method to verify protocols before actual implementation. The Ionworks Battery Cycler Simulator addresses this challenge by providing a virtual environment to validate cycler protocols prior to physical testing. Users can upload their protocol files, and the simulator processes them to offer detailed feedback on the expected execution of the experiment. This includes verification of current limits, voltage ranges, and step sequences, ensuring that all parameters align with the intended testing procedures. By identifying and rectifying potential errors in a simulated setting, the method helps prevent costly mistakes, conserves resources, and enhances the reliability of battery testing outcomes.

Linde | EMOFLEX ECR Enhanced Cathode Roasting | Booth 1126
http://www.lindeus.com/emoflex

EMOFLEX ECR Enhanced Cathode Roasting Boosting productivity in the lithium battery active material roasting process Linde has the experience and solid understanding on all aspects of the lithium battery production value chain. Linde’s EMOFLEX ECR Enhanced Cathode Roasting is a cube and lance system focused on the monitoring and optimization of the furnace atmosphere during cathode production. By monitoring the key components of the furnace atmosphere in real time, process variation can be detected early. In cathode production, active materials are calcinated in controlled atmospheres of oxygen for high-nickel tertiary cathodes or nitrogen for LiFePO4 cathodes. The kiln atmosphere impacts product quality, uniformity, and productivity. Flue gas formed during production dilutes the oxygen concentration if not removed promptly, challenging optimal conditions. Linde’s EMOFLEX technology addresses this by providing thorough atmosphere control. It offers online monitoring of gas compositions in each kiln zone and real-time tracking of atmosphere changes. Oxygen injection reduces roasting cycle time, enhancing cost efficiency and cathode production throughput.

Nanovace Technologies Limited | ENERSIL 6N | Booth 217
https://www.nanovace.com/

Introducing high performance Silicon Anodes, Bio Graphite and Green Natural Graphite for Li Ion Batteries, using a single stage green process. The demand for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) continues to rise, but there are a few challenges. To achieve higher energy densities cost-effective silicon-based anodes re essential. Silicon’s ability to significantly increase battery capacity is hindered by excessive volume expansion during lithiation. Traditional methods for synthesizing silicon nanostructures remain complex and expensive, limiting commercial viability. Also, localization of graphite supply chains is must to ensure resilience. Nanovace’s innovative proprietary chloro-aluminothermic reduction process addresses these challenges by transforming the conventional thermite reaction into a low-temperature, scalable platform. Unlike traditional aluminothermic reduction, which operates at extreme temperatures exceeding 2000°C, our modified process efficiently reduces silicon oxides to high-purity silicon nanoparticles at low temperatures below 600°C. Nanovace is developing this as a platform technology.

The technology is versatile, utilizing various silica precursors such as fumed silica, precipitated silica, and SiO₂-containing minerals. Depending on the processing conditions, the final product can be silicon nanoparticles, silicon nanowires, or silicon-carbon composites, all optimized for LIB applications. The same platform can be used for producing battery grade graphite-silicon composites. Nanovace’s development efforts focus on three key areas:

1. BioGraphite-BioSilicon Composites from Biomass: A demonstrated process to directly produce BioGraphite-BioSilicon composites from silica-rich agricultural waste, leading to a renewable and geopolitically independent supply of battery-grade graphite.
2. Green Natural Graphite Production: Nanovace’s process replaces conventional hazardous hydrofluoric acid purification methods for natural graphite, enabling the sustainable production of natural green graphite-silicon composites as a drop-in solution for the battery industry. Thereby, making production of battery grade graphite cleaner and greener—and also reducing cost.
3. Silicon Nanocomposites for Battery Applications: Nanovace’ s technology is perhaps the only process globally that allows direct incorporation of silica into graphite pores/nanopores without using hazardous silane gas. This approach enables the production of carbon-silicon composites geographic agnostic without requiring high-cost silane gas or even the mechanical milling infrastructure. Nanovace’s technology offers superior functional products, with significant cost savings by reducing energy consumption, simplifying material synthesis, and leveraging the high-value aluminium oxychloride by-product for reuse in other industries. Additionally, it achieves an 80% reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to conventional production techniques, making it an environmentally sustainable alternative. By enabling the large-scale, low-cost production of advanced silicon materials, this technology paves the way for next-generation LIBs with higher energy densities, longer cycle life, and enhanced commercial feasibility—a breakthrough in energy storage innovation.
