Additives for Li-Ion Batteries

Borregaard's solutions have been the industry standard for lead battery systems for decades. Now, we have focused our knowledge and expertise towards today’s most rapidly growing energy storage technology: Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

We offer high-performance additives designed to improve electrode properties and safety of Li-ion batteries,  and to serve as processing aids to increase production throughput and reduce manufacturing costs. All our products are derived from Norway Spruce, offering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic options.

Lithium-ion batteries have become the leading choice for portable applications, such as mobile phones, laptops and electric vehicles. Li-ion batteries outperform other technologies due to their high energy density, light weight and long lifetime.

As demands for greater performance, safety, and sustainability continue to grow, the battery industry is constantly searching for new solutions to develop lighter and safer batteries with increased lifetime and range. Borregaard’s solutions can play a crucial role in driving your innovation process toward success by providing both performance and processing benefits.

More on li-ion batteries

All you need to know about safety in lithium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are lightweight, efficient, and have a high energy density compared to other batteries. Li-ion batteries are widely applied in diverse areas ranging from small appliances such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and power tools to electric and hybrid vehicles and energy storage systems. common for all these battery systems is that a high safety level is required.

All you need to know about dispersants for carbon in lithium-ion batteries

Carbon materials are essential constituents of all lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery systems. in this section we have a closer look at how a Li-ion battery is constructed, the important role of carbon materials in the Li-ion battery formulation, and how keeping these well dispersed can help you realise several processing and performance benefits.

The Hidden Influence of Dispersion in Lithium-Ion Battery Performance

Poor dispersion leads to agglomeration, where particles clump together. The result? Uneven coatings, unpredictable performance, and premature degradation. These issues often go unnoticed during early testing but emerge over time, affecting reliability and customer satisfaction. 

Agglomeration: The Hidden Challenge in Aqueous Anode Production

Agglomeration can derail aqueous anode production. Discover how the right dispersants and mixing strategy deliver uniform coatings, higher yield, and better battery performance.
