Developing a dry electrode production process for cathode electrodes is highly beneficial for the smooth production and commercialization of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs). Compared to conventional solvent-processed electrodes, dry-process electrodes eliminate the need for drying and solvent recovery, significantly reducing manufacturing costs and environmental impact. However, achieving high production efficiency remains a major challenge for large-scale manufacturing. LiCAP’s proprietary Activated Dry Electrode® technology provides significant advantages in both production efficiency and performance over traditional methods. The partnership between Nissan and LiCAP aims to accelerate the development of dry electrode production process technology, representing a key step toward next-generation electric vehicles equipped with high-performance, cost-efficient ASSBs. Nissan began operating its all-solid-state battery pilot line in January 2025 and aims to launch EVs equipped with in-house developed ASSBs by fiscal year 2028, while intensifying research and development efforts to achieve this goal.
