KUALA LUMPUR, 23 June 2023 – Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), through its commercialization and marketing arm, Petronas Technology Ventures Sdn Bhd (PTVSB), has launched its second graphene-based solution, ProCharge+, a conductive additive for Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery typically used in electric vehicles, automatic guided vehicles, and the robotics sector, among others.
Formulated to enhance conductivity and thermal performance as well as extend battery life, ProCharge+ aims to meet the growing demand for more durable and compact batteries amidst the rise of electrification during energy transition, Petronas said in a statement today.
Petronas Vice President of Group Technology and Commercialisation Aadrin Azly said, ProCharge+ signifies another milestone for PETRONAS’ research and development in advanced materials.
“We strive to be a pivotal part of the solution by offering products that seamlessly integrate into people’s lives, enabling them to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle.
With ProCharge+, we focus on long-term business value-creation through improved battery cell lifespan and performance while supporting the organisation’s environmental, social and governance aspirations,” he said.
ProCharge+ is a versatile solution that exhibits high compatibility with various Li-ion battery chemistries, enabling seamless integration into existing manufacturing processes.
Compared to carbon black additives, ProCharge+ is demonstrably capable of significantly reducing electrode volume resistivity by 90 per cent and more than 60 per cent compared with carbon nanotubes (CNT).
ProCharge+ will be showcased at the Petronas Energy Park during the upcoming Energy Asia in Kuala Lumpur from 26 – 28 June 2023.
Petronas had recently introduced corrosion protection paint additive ProShield+ under its advanced materials portfolio.
