Talga consortium gets UK backing

A consortium, which includes ASX-listed Talga Resources, has gained funding from the UK government’s ISCF Faraday Battery Challenge initiative, which would see the development of Talga’s graphitic anode for solid state batteries.

Talga on Wednesday said that the Faraday project aimed to address the industrial and fundamental challenges of solid state batteries by combining Talga’s technology arm at Cambridge with multi-national chemical sand sustainable technologies company Johnson Matthey, and with Sheffield University, one of the UK’s leading battery materials group.
