Battery electrode manufacturer LiCAP Technologies has announced a major expansion of its operations. The company recently secured a 40,500-square-foot industrial facility in Sacramento, tripling its work space.
The new facility will serve as LiCAP’s dedicated manufacturing hub, enabling scaled production of its dry electrode platform and supporting development for energy storage and data center applications.
LiCAP’s proprietary Activated Dry Electrode (ADE) technology eliminates the toxic solvents required for the traditional wet slurry electrode production process. The company says its dry process saves energy, cost and factory space, as well as improving electrode performance. (Read our in-depth interview with LiCAP President Richard Qiu.)
LiCAP has introduced a new ultracapacitor system assembly line. The company says its ultracapacitors deliver more than one million charge-discharge cycles and exceed 15 years of calendar year life, reducing maintenance intervals and total cost of ownership. The ultracapacitor system line will focus on grid stabilization projects, data centers and other energy storage applications.
“This milestone reflects the market’s strong appetite for cleaner, more efficient energy storage technologies,” said President Richard Qiu. “Our new facility gives us the scale to support commercial partners and deliver energy storage solutions that meet industrial reliability standards.”
