Ebonex®
Atraverda's technology base is founded on the properties of an electrically conductive ceramic. The ceramic, known worldwide by its trademark - Ebonex® is a titanium suboxide material and has a unique combination of metallic-like electrical conductivity along with the characteristic high corrosion resistance of ceramics.
Ebonex® is a platform technology whose current primary application is a bi-polar lead acid battery product, which is in testing with some of the world’s largest manufacturers. Atraverda is a component supplier to the lead acid battery industry and works in strategic partnership with the Original Equipment Manufacturers to expand their product ranges and identify market opportunities for mutual benefit.
Ebonex® makes for a cost-competitive power storage product that is smaller, lighter, longer lasting and more powerful than conventional lead acid technology. Ebonex® bi-polar batteries are an environmentally strong technology with significantly less lead used than conventional batteries. Atraverda is also identifying potential partners to evaluate the unique Ebonex® in other chemistries, including Nickel and Lithium systems.
Atraverda’s Ebonex® bi-polar energy storage devices are set to revolutionise a host of markets including standby power, UPS, mobility, military, telecoms, automotive and the emerging hybrid electric vehicles sector. Further applications of Ebonex® include water and effluent treatment and the cathodic protection of concrete.
