Sir, Can you give me your opinion on this Canadian battery developer ..NNO Does not use cobalt in process Nano One Materials Corp (C-NNO) - News ReleaseNano battery has 500 charge/discharge cycles at 45 C 2020-11-24 08:25 ET - News Release Shares issued 86,633,067 NNO Close 2020-11-24 C$ 2.95 Mr. Dan Blondal reports UPDATE ON NANO ONE'S BREAKTHROUGH IN BATTERY LONGEVITY Nano One Materials Corp. has provided its latest durability test results confirming that its high-voltage cobalt-free battery is also stable at elevated operating temperatures required for automotive, power tool and energy storage applications. These results augment ambient temperature results announced on Oct. 13, 2020, and further demonstrate the longevity and stability of Nano One's lithium nickel manganese (LNM) battery system. "Nano One has achieved over 500 fast charge and discharge cycles at 45 C," said Dr. Stephen Campbell, chief technology officer, "in an innovative battery design that pairs its high-voltage LNM cathode with a conventional electrolyte and a graphite anode. We have also reached 1,000 fast charge and discharge cycles at 25 C demonstrating that issues of excessive gassing, anode contamination and poor cycling may be overcome." Nano One's proprietary LNM battery enables the benefits of increased voltage, elevated operating temperatures and fast charging, by eliminating failure from gassing in the first few cycles and failure from manganese contamination of the anode in the first 100 cycles. Dr. Campbell added, "Nano One's LNM battery innovation breaks through the barriers that have hindered the commercialization of LNM cathode materials in both conventional liquid and advanced solid-state batteries." LNM, also known as high-voltage spinel (HVS), is a cobalt-free, low-cost cathode material that operates at 4.7 volts. This voltage is 25 per cent higher than commercial high nickel cathodes, providing improved efficiency, thermal management and power. Battery pack models suggest that LNM cathodes may reduce costs by over 30 per cent as compared with high nickel NMC materials (Wentker et al., Energies 12 (2019) 504 to 521). Inspired by ESG (environmental, social and governance) concerns, the Nano One patented One Pot process combines sulphate-free feedstocks with lithium carbonate, additives and coating materials in a single reaction to, ultimately, form coated single crystal cathode materials with enhanced durability. This process further improves LNM economics and environmental sustainability by eliminating cobalt feedstock and sulphate waste and by reducing energy and water consumption. The LNM cathode (LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4) was tested with a graphite anode and conventional electrolyte in a 20-layer pouch cell (4.75 volts, 126 milliamp hours, 0.592 watt hour) charging and discharging 12 times per day for 1,000 cycles at 25 C and for 500 cycles at 45 C. This demonstrates enhanced durability under operating conditions that are relevant to automotive, power tool and energy storage applications in a cobalt-free, high-voltage battery. Nano One's LNM cathode is a leading candidate for next-generation lithium-ion and solid-state batteries because its durability and dimensional stability enable a stable interface with both liquid and solid electrolytes. Several independent evaluations are currently under way within the automotive and battery supply chain demanding lower cost, higher voltage and improved safety without compromising longevity and performance. "Nano One has developed processes, materials and now a battery innovation to enable our novel cathode materials for the future of lithium-ion batteries," Dr. Campbell added. "We are excited by the commercialization and partnership opportunities of this latest breakthrough." About Nano One Materials Corp. Nano One Materials 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 partnered with global leaders in the lithium ion battery supply chain to advance its lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) and lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNM) cathode technologies for large growth opportunities in e-mobility and renewable energy storage applications. Nano One's pilot and partnership activities are being financed with the assistance and support of the government of Canada through Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), the automotive supplier innovation program (ASIP), a program of Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), and the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. 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. We seek Safe Harbor.

Nothing much I can think of that will make an electric car burn even more impressively than adding in a whole bunch of sulfur and magnesium... on top of the lithium... Battery tech has proven remarkably resistant to innovation for a long time... Not because there haven't been lots of interesting innovations... But, none ever seem to survive to market, or make much of a difference for some reason ? I do think that is going to change pretty soon... but I'd not bet it would be Li -S -Mg that wins...
