Impact Minerals Advances High Purity Alumina Into Battery Cell Validation

(ASX: IPT) Impact Minerals has moved its 50%-owned associated company Alluminous into battery validation after completing the first major technical milestone in a development program with New York-based battery technology company Charge CCCV (C4V). The work showed Alluminous high purity alumina (HPA) could be engineered to the particle-size specifications required for advanced lithium-ion battery separator coatings without compromising its chemical purity. Particle-size analysis found 90% of the milled material was below 3 microns and 10% was below 500 nanometres, meeting the thresholds required for separator coatings. Testing also produced a stable, sodium-free, water-based slurry suitable for separator coating evaluation, clearing the way for the material to be incorporated into full battery cells. Over the past twelve months we have progressed from commissioning the pilot plant to achieving our first externally validated downstream application milestone. The next stage will focus on battery architecture development, coating optimisation, and electrochemical performance testing as the partners continue exploring opportunities in the North American battery supply chain and support future commercial qualification for battery manufacturers in the region.
