CENTURY LITHIUM REPORTS BATTERY-GRADE LITHIUM METAL ANODES PRODUCED FROM ANGEL ISLAND LITHIUM CARBONATE
"We are proud that Century Lithium was selected as a domestic source of lithium for Alpha-En's program to produce lithium-metal anodes," said Bill Willoughby, Century Lithium President and CEO. "This collaboration reflects the quality of our material and the strength of our technical capabilities as we continue to support innovation across the US battery materials supply chain."
Century Lithium provided Alpha-En with a sample of 99.8% pure lithium carbonate from Angel Island. The sample was converted by Alpha-En into lithium metal using Alpha-En's patented room-temperature conversion process, resulting in Li-MA with a high areal capacity and extraction efficiency. In the pilot test, Century Lithium material exceeded the quality of battery-grade lithium carbonate from a commercial non-domestic source.
"We are very pleased with the performance of the lithium metal produced from Century Lithium's lithium carbonate. Its purity and consistency translated directly into high-quality lithium-metal anodes," said Landon Oakes, Chief Technology Officer of Alpha-En Corporation. "We look forward to continued collaboration with Century Lithium as they advance Angel Island."
Century Lithium is progressing Angel Island through ongoing permitting, engineering, and technical development at its Demonstration Plant. The Company maintains a positive long-term outlook on lithium-based batteries, which it believes will play a critical role in the growth of the electric vehicle ("EV") and stationary energy storage markets. Century Lithium looks forward to further supporting Alpha-En's efforts to develop a domestic lithium supply chain.
