LATEST NEWS Nissan partners with LiCAP Technologies to develop all-solid- state battery electrode production process technology

YOKOHAMA, Japan (26 August 2025) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. announced it hasentered a partnership with U.S.-based LiCAP Technologies, Inc., for the developmentof production process technology for the cathode electrode of all-solid-state batteries(ASSB).

Developing a dry electrode production process for cathode electrode is highlybeneficial for the smooth production and commercialization of ASSBs. Compared toconventional solvent-process electrodes, dry-process electrodes eliminate the needfor drying and solvent recovery, significantly reducing manufacturing costs andenvironmental impact. However, when considering future mass production, achievinghigh production efficiency remains a major challenge for dry-process electrodes.

LiCAP's proprietary Activated Dry Electrode® technology provides significantadvantages in production efficiency and performance, over traditional methods. Thepartnership with LiCAP will accelerate the development of dry electrode production
process technology, marking an important step toward the realization of next-generation EVs equipped with high-performance and cost-efficient ASSBs.

Nissan began operating its all-solid-state battery pilot line in January 2025. Thecompany aims to launch EVs equipped with in-house developed all-solid-statebatteries by fiscal year 2028 and is accelerating its R&D efforts toward this goal.
