LiFePO4 Hydrothermal Synthesis Technology

  • Mineral Ltd. has developed the original non-infringing technology of LiFePO4 hydrothermal synthesis and carbon nanocomposite production based on LiFePO4 that is one of the most promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries for special purposes.
  • Mineral Ltd. owns the autoclave equipment for hydrothermal synthesis (super pressure vessels) of more than 90 m3 total reaction volume.
  • Autoclave equipment of Mineral Ltd. allows synthesizing LiFePO4 by hydrothermal method with capacity of more than 2000 ton per year.
  • Mineral Ltd. is actively engaged in R&D for the improvement of production process of LiFePO4 carbon nanocomposite as well as hydrothermal and solvothermal synthesis of other cathode and anode materials for Li-ion batteries.
