Nano One Granted Important Battery Material Patent in the US
August 08 2019 - 2:07AM
(TSX-V: NNO) (OTC-Nasdaq Intl Designation: NNOMF)
(Frankfurt: LBMB). Dr. Stephen Campbell, Chief Technology
Officer at Nano One Materials Corp., is pleased to announce the
issuance of US Patent No. 10,374,232. In the race to commercialize
lithium ion battery powered electric vehicles, this patent adds
value to Nano One’s high energy cathode materials as it defines the
unique physical form of the powdered materials and provides a
proprietary means of improving durability, safety, handling and
cost.
Dr. Campbell said “This patent is particularly significant as it
defines the properties of our high energy NMC cathode powders,
rather than the underlying process to make them. These powders have
unique physical properties, related to size and nanostructure, that
Nano One is exploiting for improved durability, handling, safety
and cost. It complements our process patent portfolio and adds
substantially to our strategy with recently announced automotive
partners to develop a new generation of low cost and durable high
energy cathodes.”
NMC cathodes are typically comprised of lithium, nickel,
manganese and cobalt. There are global initiatives underway to
increase nickel for more energy and reduce cobalt to mitigate
supply chain risk. However, this shift to nickel-rich materials
compromises stability and safety in the battery, and the air
sensitive materials require special handling. Nano One’s unique
powders are differentiated from these efforts and they enable an
innovative approach to lowering cost and increasing the durability
of NMC powders.
Utilizing proprietary manufacturing technologies, which are
themselves protected by patents in the US, Canada, Taiwan, China,
Japan and Korea, Nano One is able to carefully control the
formation of lithium ion battery materials resulting in unique
forms and improved electrical properties. The improved NMC
materials themselves are now patent protected in the US and
Korea.
“The granting of this patent is great news”, said Dr. Joseph
Guy, Director of Nano One and Patent Agent. “Our NMC powders are
different because of very fine particles and layered
nanostructures. It gives Nano One a sustainable means of
differentiating its NMC cathode powder for improved performance and
cost in lithium ion batteries. This is an important cornerstone in
the execution of Nano One’s business plan and provides valuable
leverage going forward.”

About Nano OneTM
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
