Enerize has synthesized a LiMn₂O₄ using high density MnO₂ as a starting material. Cathodes based on this spinel have a bulk density of 2.4 g/cm³, and a specific discharge capacity of 110-130 mAh/g LiMn₂O₄. The coating technology developed for making the electrodes provides a discharge capacity up to 80 mAh/g (spinel) at a discharge rate of 20C.

The company  is working on additives for increasing stability the of spinel-based Li-ion batteries during storage and cycling make them lower in cost while maintaining high conductivity and excellent thermal stability. Production capability is currently in the pilot stage.

Enerize has also developed new anode materials from modified graphite characterized by high discharge capacity which can be used without binder.

In combination, these new materials have the potential to deliver significantly improved durability, reduced self discharge and lower cost than conventional Li-ion batteries.

The new materials will be complemented by other proprietary Li-ion technologies developed by Enerize Corporation and FiFe Batteries, including electrolyte additives for increased cycling stability and new electrode coating process that will allow the batteries to deliver more power on demand.

During manufacture, new nondestructive test systems from Enerize will be used for quality control. Enerize nondestructive methods and systems can also be applied for real-time in-line quality control at the facilities of other battery manufacturers.

Enerize Corp., based in Florida,  develops advanced designs and high-performance, low-cost materials used in lithium and lithium-ion batteries, solar cells, fuel cells and supercapacitors.

FiFe Batteries Limited operates a Li-ion R&D Center in Oxfordshire, England. Its facilities include a 350m² dry room complex of four interconnected rooms equipped with a range of Li-ion cell fabrication equipment. FiFe Batteries has the capability to make both 18650-type cells and soft-pack (or polymer) 383562-type cells using a stacking design.
