RE:RE:RE:Tesla Cathode Plant Update @GTNano here is some background reference material regarding the difference between CALCINATION and the process of applying CAM to foil in a dry manner which you are confused about.
Nano One Pot Method:
In the first of Nano One’s three processing stages, raw materials are combined at ambient temperatures and pressures to form a composite material with unique nanoscale features such as the “floral-like” structure shown in the scanning electron micrograph provided. There is a unique underlying arrangement of atoms that promotes more efficient CALCINATION (i.e., faster firing to form a highly crystalline, free-flowing, battery-ready powder) that requires no further milling or grinding.
Nano One believes these enhancements can reduce complexity and cost associated with conventional manufacturing methods.
