ORLIB Limited

ORLIB Limited is a university-launched venture developing high-energy batteries. We demonstrated a technology that dramatically increases energy density using active materials that reacts with multiple electrons. In particular, Si, has been attracting attention as a high-capacity anode material since it can react with 4 or more electrons, leading the significantly large capacity up to 4000 Ah/kg. However, Si has hardly been used because it has a large irreversible capacity, and a large volume change due to a charge/discharge reaction. ORLIB has developed the pressurized pre-doping technology to reduce irreversible capacity and the volume changes. Pre-doped Si, pSi, can be combined with various LIB cathodes to increase the energy by more than 1.5 times, making it possible to create high-energy batteries with low cost and rare metal-free LFP comparable to high energy LMNC. We contribute to the realization of a sustainable and vibrant society through high-energy batteries.
