AUGUST 26, 2025 (BEIJING) — Nissan Motor Co. announces a partnership with U.S.-based LiCAP Technologies to co-develop dry-process electrode manufacturing for all-solid-state battery (ASSB) cathodes, a critical step toward cost-effective mass production of next-gen EV batteries.
KEY FACTS:
• Green Manufacturing: LiCAP’s solvent-free Active Dry Electrode® eliminates drying/recovery steps, reducing energy use by 30% and factory footprint by 50% vs. wet-coating methods.
• Performance Boost: Dry-processed cathodes enable 15% higher energy density in Nissan’s ASSBs, with pilot data showing 800+ charge cycles at >90% capacity retention.
• Roadmap Acceleration: Nissan’s ASSB pilot line (operational since January 2025) will integrate LiCAP tech ahead of 2028 production EVs; targets $75/kWh cost at scale.
• Industry Race: Patented dry electrode IP positions Nissan against Toyota/Panasonic’s wet-process ASSBs and CATL’s condensed-state batteries.
EDITOR’S NOTE:
Nissan’s bet on dry electrodes reveals a shrewd focus on scalable sustainability—avoiding the solvent-recycling bottlenecks plaguing competitors.
