Cenate Starts Operation at its Mini-Pilot in Askim
Today Cenate started operation at its mini-pilot reactor in Askim. The reactor is initially split in two process chambers and shall be used to further develop Cenate’s new and proprietary silicon based anode materials for use in future lithium ion batteries. In 2021 also a third process step will be added. The mini-pilot is designed to be able to deliver material samples from a few grams and up to 2 or even 10 kg at a later stage.
Cenate secures a 16 mnok research grant
The Norwegian Research Council today announced that Cenate has been awarded a 16 MNOK research grant for its 33 MNOK HAST project in 2020 and 2021. This project is a follow up of a similar two year project carried out in 2018 and 2019 delivering some highly promising results for a new nanomaterial that can prolong the durability of silicon in a battery anode.
