Project SATE (Scaling Anode Technology for the xEV market) aims to accelerate the large-volume manufacturing of a next-generation fast-charging battery material for electric vehicles in the UK. This patented material has been developed by Echion Technologies ('Echion'), a high-growth company who spun-out of Cambridge University in 2017 to commercialise proprietary fast-charging battery materials.The speed of charge of standard commercial batteries is severely limited by the negative terminal material which they use to store the electricity upon charge, called the anode. Echion has developed a new anode material called Mixed Niobium Oxide (MNO) which enables a unique combination of safe fast charge (down to 6 min for a full charge), high energy and power density, long cycle life and low cost.This technology has the potential to enable more efficient and cost-effective hybrid vehicles benefiting from improved regenerative braking. It also finds application in full electric vehicles by decreasing battery size and cost with the benefit of fast-charging. This technology will accelerate the adoption of mass-market electric vehicles, which is in line with the government Road to Zero strategy and will provide significant environmental and public health benefits in terms of reduction of CO2 emissions and harmful particulates from the transport sector.Project SATE will identify strategies to enable large-volume manufacturing of Echion's MNO material in the UK. To inform this feasibility study, a pilot-scale MNO material batch will be produced by subcontractors, thereby enabling Echion to validate a significant milestone towards scale-up and commercialisation.Ultimately Project SATE will enable Echion to secure its position in the UK advanced battery materials supply chain. Project SATE will fast-track a unique material into the UK electrified automotive value chain, supplying our automotive industry with a high-added value technology. By promoting UK manufacturing, project SATE will contribute to securing the UK's international competitiveness in the field of advanced battery materials development and production.

SATE 项目（xEV 市场扩展阳极技术）旨在加速英国电动汽车下一代快速充电电池材料的大批量生产。这种专利材料由 Echion Technologies（简称“Echion”）开发，这是一家高增长公司，于 2017 年从剑桥大学分拆出来，致力于将专有的快速充电电池材料商业化。标准商用电池的充电速度受到充电时用于存储电力的负极端子材料（称为阳极）的严重限制。 Echion 开发了一种名为混合氧化铌 (MNO) 的新型阳极材料，它实现了安全快速充电（充满电仅需 6 分钟）、高能量和功率密度、长循环寿命和低成本的独特组合。该技术有潜力使混合动力汽车受益于改进的再生制动，从而实现更高效、更具成本效益的混合动力汽车。它还通过减小电池尺寸和成本并具有快速充电的优势，在纯电动汽车中得到应用。该技术将加速大众市场电动汽车的采用，这符合政府的“零排放之路”战略，并将在减少运输行业的二氧化碳排放和有害颗粒物方面提供显着的环境和公共健康效益。SATE项目将确定在英国大规模生产Echion的MNO材料的战略。为了为本可行性研究提供信息，分包商将生产一批中试规模的 MNO 材料，从而使 Echion 能够验证规模化和商业化的一个重要里程碑。最终，SATE 项目将使 Echion 能够确保其在英国先进电池材料供应链中的地位。 SATE 项目将快速将一种独特的材料纳入英国电动汽车价值链，为我们的汽车行业提供高附加值技术。通过促进英国制造业，SATE项目将有助于确保英国在先进电池材料开发和生产领域的国际竞争力。
