Nano One Files New Process Patent
January 25 2017 - 8:32AM
Improves Cost, Throughput and
Performance
Dr. Stephen Campbell, Principal Scientist at Nano One Materials
(TSX-V:NNO) (Frankfurt:LBMB) (OTCBB:NNOMF), today announced an
innovation that significantly increases throughput and further
decreases the cost of Nano One’s process for the fabrication of
lithium ion battery materials. This is new Intellectual Property
that also improves the performance of resulting materials and it
has been filed provisionally with the U.S. Patent Office.
“This is an important enhancement to our
processing technology that will reduce capital costs, processing
steps and operating costs of our production size plants,” said Dr.
Campbell. “We have also seen improved battery performance from the
resulting cathode materials.”

Preliminary cell data shown here indicates
increased power for Cobalt Free, High Voltage Spinel made with this
new process.
“This innovation also applies to the fabrication
of the full range of lithium ion cathode materials, including
spinels, lithium iron phosphates (LFP) and all formulations of
nickel manganese cobaltate (NMC),” added Dr. Campbell. “We expect
to boost capacity of the pilot plant that is under construction,
which we will then be able to demonstrate to strategic interests
looking for technology, cost and performance advantages.”
This improvement builds on previously issued
patents and it expands the company’s intellectual property
portfolio. It was filed as a Provisional U.S. Patent Application
directed to advances in the proprietary process for the fabrication
of nanopowders for lithium ion battery (LIB) cathodes.
These technology advances were developed with
the ongoing support of National Research Council of Canada
Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP) under the Cobalt
Free High Voltage Spinel project announced on June 30, 2016.
“We are grateful for IRAP’s support,” said CEO
Dan Blondal. “I also want to thank the Nano One team for their
dedication and innovative approach. This is a substantial
development that adds considerable value to our core processing
technology. I look forward to seeing it in action as we ramp up
demonstrations of the pilot plant in 2017.”
