Move on, nothing to see.

With the permitting scheduling hearing scheduled for Q1 2023, this could be moving year for Talga, especially considering positive feedback from key stake holders. Our long wait may soon be over. Hang in there.

With all the pressure to bare from the European Union regarding self-sufficiency in battery materials, I can’t see Sweden dare to stop this from going ahead.

The alternative is lesser quality artificial Graphite from China, that is produced in environmentally harmful ways and has human rights issues associated with it. Blocking Talga will help feed the Chinese economy and place Europe on a massive back foot.

Yeah, agree.

There is nothing to do but wait at the moment. We know all there is to know. We have made all the arguments that can be made. We had all discussions that were needed. At least I have placed my bet and i guess many others have too. If good news comes, we will be in for the ride if bad news comes, well.. it's too late then. I don't see a way to be smart about it.

MOUs etc. don't cut metal any more. We need hard evidence and we will only get that in due time. At least for me, radio silence is better than the noise at the other place.

Oh no doubt as you say it's all there you just have to look and you're one of the best at it 🤗
Don't look at the doubters who walk down my street every week to demonstrate and have no rational idea what's happening.
The next three month

For all those that don't have twitter, Peter Handley (Head Of Unit, DG GROW at European Commission) stated a few days ago "confident we can deliver EU Critical Raw Materials Act by March 2023" and then went onto say: 14 March (provisional) for CRMA.
Interestingly, Natural Graphite was scaled as Moderate (medium level) for Materials on Supply Risk...

Worth a listen/watch [Prof. Emma Nehrenheim from Northvolt]



Graphite stated by Prof. Nehrenheim as the hardest to recycle within the battery.

TLG well placed with their recycle strategy (hopefully in partnership with NV too).

Remind me - do we get graphene when we recycle graphite?

... and then we can use this in coatings as well as Talnode Si?

In short, I think you are correct.

I remember Talga talking about recycling battery anode material to graphene. I have not seen the technology of how to do it though. It might be similar to the electro-chemical exfoliation they used on the rocks before, but I dont know. This would only work for compacted (block-like) material which compressed anode would be. Loose powder would not work. From what I have seen in anode manufacturing, I think it would work.

Currently, I think its a (very reasonable) assumption that advantages in Talnode Si are due to graphene additives. I think we know for certain that the carbon black replacement coating (for anodes AND cathodes? Not sure any more..) was graphene based as well. I am not sure if the graphene from recycled graphite has the correct properties.

Hi Semmel,

Here is our patent - the WO number is a live link to the European patent database Espacenet.

WO2020261194A1 SILICON AND GRAPHITE CONTAINING COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

1673269047629.png



[0008] Using electroless plating of a thick layer of nickel on a micron size silicon, a graphene-caged silicon structure was formed and outstanding cell performance, including high capacity, small expansion, long cycle life and low FCL, was achieved (Li et al.,“Growth of conformal graphene cages on micrometre-sized silicon particles as stable battery anodes ", Nature Energy, Vol. 1 Article No. 15029 (2016).

[Re Item 24: it looks like they brew it up in a tea pot, but sadly not.]

[0087] In Figure 1 there is shown a process 10 in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, the process 10 being for the production of a final composite material 42. The process 10 comprises an initial silicon material size reduction step, for example a milling step 14 producing silicon nanoparticles 16, and another size reduction step, for example a milling step 18, in which the silicon nanoparticles are milled in a solvent with graphite particles 20 to produce each of graphite nanoparticles 22, few-layer graphene 24 and graphene coated silicon nanoparticles 26. The solvent is a non-aqueous solvent, for example isopropyl alcohol. The milling steps 14 and 18 may conveniently be conducted in one or more ceramic bead mills, utilising beads of 500 micron in size.
