Neo Battery Materials (NBM) has achieved a significant technology milestone in its nanocoating manufacturing process.

The new uniform nanocoating capability allows Neo’s silicon anode materials, NBMSiDE, to extend EV driving ranges and prompt faster battery charging.

The company has achieved the ideal nanocoating conditions to produce uniformly-coated silicon particles consistently. Uniform nanocoating layers now offers an additional advantage to enhance the current performance achieved by NBMSiDE.

Non-uniform coatings had often resulted in substandard capacity retention of NBMSiDE because of mechanical breakdown. The company stated that uniform nanocoating will ensure robust capacity retention and enable coating thickness control during commercial-level testing.

Neo’S CTO, Dr. S. G. Kim, commented on the news.

“Achieving uniform coating layers on the nano-scale is an exceptionally difficult task for a company of any size that handles chemical products. Especially for NEO, our metal silicon inputs take on a plate-shaped structure, which adds to the technical hurdle of enabling uniform coatings. However, by achieving this uniform coating capability through an additional solution process, we have made a remarkable accomplishment and have amassed great interest from 3rd party industry experts and players.”

The company has spent the last two years developing a novel manufacturing approach that combines the mixing, grinding, and nanocoating process into a one-step system. This will allow Neo to supply silicon anodes that are 70 per cent cheaper than competitors’ technologies.

Based out of Vancouver, BC, Neo Battery Materials Ltd. (NBM) is a low-cost silicon anode materials developer that enables longer-running, rapid-charging lithium-ion batteries and is focused on lithium-ion battery metals.

Neo Battery Materials (NBM) opened trading at C$0.30.
