CVD Equipment announced that they received a second production system order from U.S. based, electric vehicle battery material technology provider, OneD Battery Sciences, for a PowderCoat1104TM system and components for approximately $1.8M in May. The system is planned to ship to the customer in Europe during the second half of 2023. The system will be used to fuse high-performance silicon nanowires into particles of EV-grade graphite powders for use in the battery anode to enable longer range, faster charging, more affordable electric vehicles . …Enabling direct accessibility to lithium ions, these silicon nanowires remain pliant when charged, allowing these materials to deliver a fourfold increase in charging speed while simultaneously decreasing the cost per kWh. OneD’s SINANODE platform helps reduce the cost of e-car batteries. Vincent Pluvinage, CEO of OneD, noted, “More than a decade ago, our CTO Yimin Zhu invented a manufacturing process that is technically and economically ultra-efficient at reducing costs and at scaling-up fast. The ordering of a second CVD machine from a proven established supplier proves that OneD can quickly respond to market demand in any region to deploy safe and cost-effective manufacturing solutions.”
