PIDC Introduces A2501: A High-Performance Anode Material

PIDC is excited to announce the launch of A2501, a new anode material offering improved energy density, safety, and charging performance for next generation batteries. Compared to similar anode materials on the market, including Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) and niobium oxide-based materials, A2501 delivers excellent cycling stability in a wider voltage range (0.7-2.7V) with higher specific capacity (252mAh/g).

Developed and produced in the United States, A2501 delivers significantly higher gravimetric and volumetric energy densities at the cell level. Its micro-sized particle size provides a low surface area and high electrode density, which helps to reduce the side reactions with the electrolyte and improve cell energy density.

Key Performance Highlights

252 mAh/g first charge capacity at 0.1C, compared to ≤170 mAh/g from LTO and ≤234 mAh/g from commercial niobium oxide-based anodes
95% Initial Coulombic Efficiency (ICE)
D50: 2.8 µm; surface area: 1.4 m²/g
Stable in the voltage range from 0.7 to 2.7 V
Fast charging and strong low-temperature performance
Enabled zero-volt storage capability

When paired with high nickel cathodes, A2501 provides higher energy density and better safety over graphite/LFP systems, while also offering better low temperature performance and enabling zero-V storage capability.
