SMI has developed an alternative dry approach for production of surface functionalized cathode powders prior to sintering. Structured Materials Industries, Inc. (SMI) has demonstrated technical feasibility of this approach and now offers R&D scale quantities (up to 1 kg) of surface functionalized powders (Product name SFSOFC19) as well as the dry coating process as a service, to explore related compositions tuned to specific needs. While present material is produced at test quantity scales, the process is easily scaled for low-cost, high volume production. The SMI surface functionalization process produces uniform coatings on powders. In addition to our own SFSOFC19 product; a wide range of coating compositions can be produced. A wide range of base powder materials and particle sizes can be processed as can a wide range of materials for functionalization coatings.
