DETAILS
Arkema works alongside battery manufacturers,
and contributes to optimizing battery performance
thanks to its materials and innovative solutions.
Arkema’s acquisition of a stake in Oxis Energy
is consistent with this strategic ambition
and this commitment to anticipating
the technologies of tomorrow’s batteries
for the transportation market.
Arkema, which has been cooperating with OXIS Energy
since 2012, consolidates its partnership with this company,
and has engaged in a new capital-raising operation.
Accordingly, the Group will continue
to develop “customized” solutions
* thanks to its expertise in fluorochemicals
involving new electrolyte salts (LI-FSI and LI-TDI), and
* thanks to its carbon nanotubes
and its high added value technical polymers:
all of these innovative solutions indeed play a role
in improving the lifetime
and the energy density of lithium-sulfur batteries.
This investment aims to market and mass-produce,
in the medium term,
rechargeable lithium-sulfur batteries
for the transportation market.
