Anode Active Material (AAM)
Main RHK developments for AAM:
- 1250 °C application
- High performance exhaust system incl. volatile treatment
- Complete gastight system (N2)
- Adaptation to new generation anode products (Si based) - 2021
- Kiln empty firing
- Controlled roller drive system for best meandering results
- Optimized kiln lining for lowest heat emissions
- Energy saving measures
- Best temperature uniformity
- Highest cooling efficiency
The vast majority of lithium-ion batteries use graphite powder as an anode material. Graphite materials are either synthetically-produced (artificial graphite) or mined from the ground (natural graphite), then heavily processed before being baked onto a copper foil to serve as anodes. Graphite anodes meet the voltage requirements of most common Li-ion cathodes, they are relatively affordable, extremely light, porous and durable.
