Rechargeable high voltage LCO cells for wearables
Ateios Systems in the US has launched a rechargeable high voltage lithium Lithium Cobalt Oxide (HV LCO) electrodes.
The RaiCore HV LCO electrodes from Ateios enable the world’s first rechargeable LCO polymer battery free of perfluoroalkoxy-free (PFA), a ‘forever chemical’.
Functional battery prototypes using RaiCore electrodes provide 15 to 20% higher energy density over standard LCO cells with over 80% Capacity Retention after 1000 cycles at 1C & 100% Depth of Discharge.
Nearly one-third of the lithium-ion battery market today is used on products such as smartphones, wearables, power tools, drones, and many more.
“RaiCore offers the battery industry and its allied sectors a transformative, scalable solution addressing critical challenges in performance, supply chain, and regulatory compliance,” said Dr. Rajan Kumar, CEO and Founder of Ateios Systems.
The RaiCure technology is a chemistry-agnostic manufacturing process that uses energy-curable, PFA-free polymers to replace traditional thermal-curable polymers. The platform process produces electrodes with high-energy density, high quality, and lower manufacturing costs.
Ateios is partnering with Softmatter, atextile technology company that is part of part of MAS Holdings to integrate RaiCore into various wearable form factors including ‘wristables’ and AR/VR devices.
“Power has long been the main hindrance to our efforts to create products that optimize the user experience. We see RaiCore-enabled batteries as the first step in creating a portfolio of next-to-skin solutions that enable our consumers to experience conformal power systems,” said Ulysses Wong, CEO of Softmatter.
Ateios Systems is offering sample packs to device developers for performance evaluation and integration into scalable battery packs. It is also conducting multiple pilots with battery assemblers worldwide to integrate RaiCore electrodes into their existing battery product lines and form factors.
