Talga’s materials science business is making significant progress across a range of battery technologies. Its silicon anode precursor can be blended with both natural and synthetic graphite and unlike many rival offerings can be adopted into existing manufacturing techniques. Its conductive additives allow greater cell energy density and are already in testing with tier-1 automotive suppliers. The main output from the Vittangi battery anode project in northen Sweden, Talnode-C has been engineered by the group to deliver significantly improved charging performance. If valued alongside similar battery materials companies, the division would make up a significant proportion of Talga’s market capitalisation in our view.
