Energy Storage

Fluorine is a critical element in the battery supply chain and it is used in production of battery electrolytes, additives, binders and other materials. Koura is actively developing fluorine-containing materials for use in current and next generation Li-ion batteries. Koura’s unique integrated supply chain and process research and development capabilities allows us to efficiently develop and manufacture unique battery products

Koura is actively developing new fluorinated additives and co-solvents that offer the possibility of enhanced safety and performance in Li-ion batteries. Fluorine additives and co-solvents enable increased energy per mass of battery whilst ensuring safety. The unique properties of fluorine-containing materials make them uniquely suited for use in high energy battery environments and provide stability in all modes of operation. Koura has developed a palette of fluorinated materials that includes a wide variety of functions, characteristics and physical properties.

OS3® is the latest generation in performance enhancing organosilicon electrolyte materials available from Silatronix®. OS3® enables extreme performance of Li-ion batteries when added to LiPF6 based battery cells in concentrations of just 2-5%. OS3® provides dramatic performance enhancements while also delivering substantial safety and stability improvements. Silatronix® is currently delivering production volumes of OS3®. The material is ready for use in commercial Li-ion battery applications globally. OS3® material has been, or is currently in the process of, complete chemical registration in all major Li-ion battery manufacturing locations.
