Dow announced the launch of its new battery cell materials platform, VOLTRICELL, aimed at advancing next-generation battery technologies.
VOLTRICELL is a family of materials for optimizing battery manufacturing processes, targeting performance improvements in existing batteries, sodium-ion batteries, silicon anode batteries, and solid-state batteries.
Dow said VOLTRICELL, which covers the integrated areas of electrodes, separators, coatings, and battery cell packaging, allows customers to select and combine materials based on performance, processability, and mass production needs.
Dow announced the launch of VOLTRICELL, a new battery cell materials platform aimed at innovating next-generation battery technologies. The company said it introduced VOLTRICELL by integrating its expanded battery cell materials portfolio into a platform.
VOLTRICELL is a family of materials for optimizing battery manufacturing processes, targeting performance improvements in existing batteries. It also targets performance gains in sodium-ion batteries, silicon anode batteries, and solid-state batteries.
According to Dow, VOLTRICELL covers the integrated areas of electrodes, separators, coatings, and battery cell packaging. Its portfolio consists of binders, dispersants, rheology modifiers, surfactants, and specialty additives.
Customers can select materials based on their needs for battery performance, processability, and mass production. They can also combine materials as needed.
Joel McDonald, global technology director at Dow MobilityScience, said that while a wide range of chemistries and cell manufacturing methods are being used across the battery industry, development of next-generation technologies is also progressing actively. He said battery makers need material partners that can evolve alongside their technology development roadmaps.
In line with that, he said Dow aims to support the development of existing battery cells and next-generation energy storage technologies by leveraging a range of material technologies, including VOLTRICELL, and to support technological innovation based on customer confidence. Dow also provides a range of material solutions to help reduce battery thermal runaway and fire risks, and VORAFORCE TP1415 polyol is a polyurethane system for manufacturing lightweight fiber-reinforced composites designed to support impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and flame-retardant performance in polyurethane molding processes.
DOWSIL EF-6559 silicone foam is a two-part foaming foam. The material can be applied to narrow and complex spaces inside battery assemblies. It also forms a protective ceramic layer when exposed to high temperatures. In addition, it is designed to support thermal management and electrical insulation in mass production.
DOWSIL FC-2024 coating is a one-part room-temperature curing (RTV) coating material. The material is applied to battery housings, enclosures, and covers. When a thermal abnormality occurs in a battery, it forms a hard protective ceramic layer. This helps suppress the spread of heat and fire. It is also designed for use in cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch battery systems.
