Wildcat Discovery Technologies will be joining Innovatrix as one of our Bronze Sponsors for the upcoming 2nd Battery Gigafactory Summit USA: Advances in Planning, Engineering and Operations taking place in Nashville, Tennessee, on November 13–14, 2024.  

Wildcat produces high-performance US-made cathodes that drive clean energy adoption. For over 15 years, Wildcat has provided battery R&D services to over 85 customers ranging from new material suppliers to the largest OEMs in the world. Their vision is to be the first choice for battery material development, integration, and supply.

Wildcat will use its deep battery materials R&D and expertise to produce an innovative nickel and cobalt free product pipeline. Future-proof, resilient manufacturing, capable of producing all three cathodes: LFP, LMFP, and DRX. Their R&D and manufacturing is all undergone in the USA, developed in San Diego. Designed to be sustainable with a low CO2 profile with no critical mineral and using abundant materials instead, improving cost stability and lower costs overall. They are safe, thanks to improved thermal stability that lightens pack enclosures, enabling denser battery packs.

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP): Low-risk, existing technology in high demand

1. Designed for ESS, entry EVs, short-haul commercial trucks
2. Energy density 205-280 Wh/kg
3. Co-development with the company’s high-throughput platform (HTP) that enables comprehensive materials experiments to be done 10 times faster than conventional methods
4. Market entry in A-samples in 2024, enabling the next generation of automotive and ESS batteries, mass production in 2026

Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP): Next-generation performance upgrade to traditional and expanded LFP markets

1. Designed for ESS, entry & mid-level EVs, commercial & heavy trucks
2. Energy Density 235-320 Wh/kg
3. Wildcat’s LMFP is a next generation CAM to unlock the electrification in truck and automotive applications
4. Enabled through Wildcat’s HTP Synthesis platform, producing real materials tested in full cell batteries
5. Market entry in A-samples in 2025, ready for mass production in 2027
6. Significant energy density increase of up to 15% vs LFP

Disordered Rocksalt (DRX): Game-changing technology with highly differentiated performance

1. Designed for large and premium EVs
2. Energy Density 305-555 Wh/kg
3. Mass Production in 2029
4. Disordered rock salt (DRX) is a breakthrough CAM technology with potential for large-scale disruption
5. DRX has a 10-20% higher energy density than the best high-nickel cathodes on the market, enabling longer driving ranges, smaller batteries, and reduced costs

All cathodes can be flexibly produced in the same plant, giving Wildcat a unique advantage in adapting to market changes. Customers can count on their deep battery-material research and precise scale-up engineering to optimize battery cell performance.
