Nano One’s New Cathode Materials Aim to Make Batteries Safer and Longer Lasting
August 21 2019 - 3:08AM
Dr. Stephen Campbell, Chief Technology Officer at Nano OneTM
Materials Corp.
(TSXV: NNO) (OTC Pink: NNOMF) (FSE:
LBMB), is pleased to provide an update on Nano One’s
latest lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) innovations and how
they are aimed at making high energy lithium ion batteries safer
and more durable.
Dr. Campbell explains, “Nano One's latest innovations provide
added durability and safety to NMC cathodes by protecting them from
the stresses of repeated charging and from undesirable
side-reactions. We are able to form protective coatings on
individual particles and this is clearly differentiated from others
who are developing coatings on larger clusters of particles. The
stresses of repeated charging cause large coated clusters to break
apart, leaving individual particles on the inside exposed to side
reactions. By protecting the individual particle, Nano One is
engineering new materials for increased durability and safety. Our
technology is particularly relevant to high energy nickel-rich NMC
batteries because it provides added protection."
The automotive battery industry is actively pursuing higher
nickel content in lithium ion batteries, because it can boost
energy density and thereby extend vehicle range while reducing the
cobalt content and its inherent supply chain risk. However, this
comes with increased risk to stability, durability and safety. By
protecting each nanoparticle rather than larger clusters, Nano
One's technology is aimed at mitigating these risks.
Nano One's latest process innovations make NMC materials with a
protective coating in fewer steps and form individual nanoparticles
that are designed to resist cracking and withstand the rigors of
repeated charging. Nano One is able to control the formation of its
patented NMC materials using innovative manufacturing technologies,
which are themselves protected by patents in the US, Canada,
Taiwan, China, Japan and Korea.
These innovations and advantages are explained in a short
animation posted on Nano One's website at

Dr. Campbell said, “These are novel materials and coatings that
have the potential to enable stable, low cost, fast charging and
energy dense cathodes ideal for electric vehicles and other high
energy density applications. These innovations differentiate Nano
One and add considerable value to the development activities we now
have underway with our automotive and battery materials
partners."

About Nano One
Nano One Materials Corp has developed patented technology for
the low-cost production of high performance lithium ion battery
cathode materials used in electric vehicles, energy storage and
consumer electronics. The processing technology enables lower cost
feedstocks, simplifies production and advances performance for a
wide range of cathode materials. Nano One has built a demonstration
pilot plant and is partnering with global leaders in the lithium
ion battery supply chain, including Pulead, Volkswagen and
Saint-Gobain to advance its lithium iron phosphate battery (LFP),
lithium nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) and lithium manganese nickel
(LMN) cathode technologies for large growth opportunities in
e-mobility and renewable energy storage applications.
Nano One’s pilot and partnership activities are being funded
with the assistance and support of the Government of Canada through
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC) and the Automotive
Supplier Innovation Program (ASIP) a program of Innovation, Science
and Economic Development Canada ISED). Nano One also receives
financial support from the National Research Council of Canada
Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). Nano One’s
mission is to establish its patented technology as a leading
platform for the global production of a new generation of battery
materials. www.nanoone.ca
