Altairnano’s advanced energy storage systems provide fundamental advantages over existing, traditional lithium-ion battery designs.
|
Performance
The use of nano-structured lithium titanate in Altairnano’s cell technology produces distinctive performance attributes, including extremely fast charge and discharge rates, the industry’s highest round-trip efficiencies, long cycle life, safety, and ability to operate under diverse environmental and extreme temperature conditions
|
|
Safety
Altairnano has achieved a high-powered energy storage and battery system that has significantly greater thermal stability than any other lithium ion battery in the market. By removing the highly reactive graphite from the system design, and instead using nano-structured lithium titanate materials as the negative electrode material, no significant interaction takes place with the electrolyte.
|
Operating Range
The wide thermal operating range of Altairnano’s energy storage and battery systems is ideal for applications in remote, severe, or unusually challenging environments where physical movement, corrosion, temperature extremes, or electrical circuit complexity make the use of traditional lithium-ion batteries nearly impossible.

|
Long Life-Cycle
Conventional lithium ion batteries can typically be charged about 1,000 times before they are considered no longer useful. In laboratory testing, the Altairnano energy storage and battery systems have achieved over 25,000 charge and discharge cycles at rates up to 40 times greater than common batteries, and still retain up to 80% of initial charge capacity.

|
Power
Altairnano’s energy storage and battery systems deliver power per unit weight and unit volume several times greater than conventional lithium-ion batteries. Cell measurements performed with high power cell designs indicate specific power as high 4000 W/Kg and power density over 7,500 W/litre. By using nano-structured lithium titanate as the negative electrode material, the formation of an SEI, an electrochemical property that impedes the removal of lithium, which is the first step in power production, is eliminated.
