Aluminium laqué aux propriétés conductrices pour batteries au lithium

ALUCOAT, spécialiste du laquage d’aluminium, dans son engagement fort en recherche et développement, a conçu un revêtement spécial développé par son département R&D. Ce revêtement qui, intégré dans les batteries au lithium à haute capacité énergétique, améliore considérablement ses propriétés conductrices.

Ce nouveau produit, qui vise à augmenter la durée de vie des batteries et des équipements électriques, augmente la conductivité et réduit la résistance électrique jusqu’à 15% par rapport à la concurrence et 30% par rapport à l’aluminium nu, il améliore également l’adhérence du métal à l’électrode et la résistance à la corrosion causée par l’électrolyte lui-même. Cela implique une meilleure performance et durée de vie des batteries. Il s’agit donc d’un matériau développé pour répondre à un nouveau marché, orienté particulièrement vers le secteur automobile, mais avec une grande variété d’applications pour d’autres produits types, tels que semi-satellites, domotique, drones et trottinettes électriques, entre autres.

À son tour, ce nouveau produit collabore également avec les Objectifs de développement durable (ODD), en contribuant à la “Production et consommation responsables” (ODD 12) et “Action pour le climat” (ODD 13).

ALUCOAT nouveaux défis, nouveaux développements et nouveaux objectifs.
