BRKR - Dragonfly Energy Leverages Cutting-Edge Lithium Battery Research Instrumentation from Bruker | Benzinga
- Dragonfly Energy has made a significant investment in high-end battery research equipment from Bruker
- The Bruker equipment purchased and used by Dragonfly Energy utilizes numerous advanced technologies, such as AFM, FT-IR, NMR, Raman, XRD, and XRF, among others, to study lithium battery cells at a fundamental level
- This technology is expected to enable Dragonfly Energy to optimize the performance of the Company's previously announced domestically manufactured lithium battery cells
RENO, Nev., Sept. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:DFLI) ("Dragonfly Energy" or the "Company"), maker of Battle Born Batteries™ and an industry leader in energy storage, has continued to invest in the development of battery cell manufacturing with cutting-edge research equipment from Bruker Corporation ("Bruker") (NASDAQ:BRKR).
Dragonfly Energy uses Bruker's nuclear magnetic resonance ("NMR")-based equipment to study lithium batteries at a fundamental level. Through NMR, battery scientists can pull electrolyte samples at various points during the lifetime of a battery for various measurements, which could optimize the performance of cells produced using the Company's patented dry electrode process. The Company recently announced the completion of its domestic cell manufacturing pilot line and expects to produce full cells by the end of 2023.
"The performance and long-term behavior of lithium ion batteries depend on nanoscale structures that form and evolve over the lifetime of the batteries. It has been integral to our mission to build a world class battery lab to better observe these structures, as we develop new manufacturing processes and explore new materials for storage applications," Dragonfly Energy Chief Executive Officer Dr. Denis Phares said. "Bruker has a reputation for building some of the most advanced equipment in the world. We believe that by working closely with them, we are able to innovate and develop batteries that meet strict safety and performance requirements, allowing the widespread deployment of cost-effective energy storage on and off the grid."
For more than ten years, with over fifty-five filed and pending patents, and hundreds of thousands of battery packs already in the field, Dragonfly Energy is a comprehensive lithium battery and energy ...
