“Chemours has a rich history of using our unmatched knowledge of chemistry to develop innovations that help solve our customers' biggest challenges,” said Denise Dignam, President and Chief Executive Officer at Chemours. “The Chemours Battery Innovation Center is a state-of-the-art lab and investment in the long-term potential of improving the sustainability footprint and performance of hybrid and electric vehicle batteries. We are committed to supporting the electrification of the automotive industry through collaboration and putting our team’s deep technical expertise to work.”

The CBIC leverages Chemours’ application development expertise to drive innovation in partnership with customers to scale production of more sustainable, high-performance lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). The facility will serve as a technical support lab for partners and customers to collaborate with Chemours’ engineers to iterate, pilot, and adopt novel approaches to fabricating cost-effective LiBs.

“Electric vehicles are an essential part of the clean energy transition, and Chemours is dedicated to applying our advanced chemistry and material science knowledge to accelerate the electric future,” said Gerardo Familiar, President of Advanced Performance Materials at Chemours. “For example, our Teflon™ fluoropolymer binders are vital in developing solvent-free battery electrode manufacturing, which unlocks the path for more cost-effective and energy-efficient vehicles. Through the Chemours Battery Innovation Center, we can enable the adoption and scalability of this novel dry electrode coating technology to advance the capabilities of LiBs and the electric vehicle industry.”

The CBIC’s state-of-the-art equipment and data analytics capabilities enable predictive modeling to help EV manufacturers adopt this novel battery manufacturing technology to make better-performing EVs a reality.
