UK grant funds Talga’s battery push
TALGA Resources’ UK subsidiary Talga Technologies has gained funding under the UK Government’s Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF) Faraday Battery Challenge to develop the company’s graphitic anode for solid state batteries. The Faraday Challenge represents a £246m UK Government funding initiative for battery research, development and scale-up of facilities to help create a new supply chain for battery production in the UK and income from battery technologies. Solid state battery technology has the potential to combine high energy and power with improved safety – using a solid state electrolyte made of polymer, ceramic or glass material instead of the (more flammable) liquid electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries. Talga aims to replace the metallic lithium anode in solid state batteries by developing…
