About Anaphite

Anaphite is a technology company based in Bristol, specializing in solvent-free, dry coating precursor (DCP®) powders for lithium-ion battery manufacturing.

Founded in 2016, Anaphite aims to decarbonize battery cell production by facilitating the transition from traditional wet coating to more efficient dry coating processes. The company employs approximately 38 staff and operates within the chemical manufacturing and energy technology sectors. Anaphite's proprietary DCP® technology combines all essential battery electrode ingredients into a single engineered material, allowing for direct lamination onto current collectors without the need for solvents or additives. This innovation significantly reduces energy consumption and production costs while lowering the carbon footprint of electric vehicle battery manufacturing. The company focuses on research and development of graphene-enhanced materials and nanocomposites, targeting battery cell manufacturers and electric vehicle producers to enhance battery performance and sustainability.
