A NEW CUTTING-EDGE LABORATORY FOR INNOVATIVE MATERIALS AND BATTERIES OF THE FUTURE
Arkema has a growing number of R&D and industrial partnerships with various members of the battery ecosystem (academic research, start-ups, gigafactories, manufacturers), and is constantly refining its formulations in order to offer new grades of its Specialty Materials to best meet the needs of each application. Looking further ahead, the Group is also working on emerging technologies as an alternative to conventional Li-ion batteries. To this end, in 2020 it launched a new cuttingedge laboratory in Pierre-Bénite, France, dedicated to developing new materials and innovative procedures, primarily for solid-state Li-ion batteries. The creation of this new laboratory was jointly funded with the European Union.
