Join Dr. Denis Phares, CEO of Dragonfly Energy, and myself for a fascinating conversation around dry electrode battery manufacturing, Tesla’s dry electrode battery manufacturing vs. Dragonfly Energy’s, dye-sensitized solar cells, nanotechnology, solid-state batteries, and more.
As a teaser, here are some highlights on Dragonfly’s dry electrode manufacturing process:
- Efficiency and Cost Savings: It cuts energy use by 25% and production costs by ~5% by eliminating solvent recovery and drying steps. It also speeds up production and scales easily for future demand.
- Greater Sustainability: Uses no toxic solvents like N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) or harmful (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) PFAS, reducing hazardous waste, water usage, and carbon emissions by 9%.
- Better Performance and Flexibility: Delivers uniform coatings for higher energy density, safety, and cycle life. Compatible with various lithium-ion chemistries for next-gen battery applications.
