Nano One and Euro Manganese have signed a joint development agreement. Nano One is a clean technology company with a patented process for low-cost, low-environmental footprint production of high-performance cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, while Euro Manganese is a battery raw material company that has developed a large number of manganese deposits in the region. Czech Republic.

The two companies will work together to develop economically viable and environmentally sustainable high-purity manganese applications, and Euro Manganese is expected to produce it from its proposed Chvaletice manganese project. Nano One will evaluate manganese in the formation of its innovative cathode materials, including LNMO (lithium nickel manganese oxide) and nickel-rich NMC (lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide).

LNMO and NMC materials will be prepared using Nano One’s patented One-Pot process, coated nanocrystalline powder, and M2CAM technology (metal direct cathode active material), so that sulfate freezing metal and lithium carbonate can be used as low-cost and environmentally sustainable raw material.

Nano One's patented One Pot process combines precursor, cathode powder and coating stages. Compared with the standard manufacturing process, the simplified production process reduces the cost while achieving higher performance cathode materials.

LNMO, also known as high-voltage spinel (HVS), and NMC have great potential in conventional and solid-state battery applications in electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and consumer electronics.

LNMO provides the same energy and power as NMC and is more cost-effective because it is rich in manganese, does not contain cobalt, has a low nickel content and does not require too much lithium. The operating voltage of LNMO is also 25% higher than commercial high nickel cathodes, thereby reducing the number of batteries and improving productivity, efficiency, thermal management and power.

Nano One has developed ambitious plans to become a major player in the transition to battery-powered mobility and renewable energy storage. We are changing the way the world manufactures cathode materials to achieve this goal. Our LNMO is unique, differentiated and well positioned to meet the recent interest in manganese-rich batteries in the automotive industry. The goal of our coated nanocrystalline NMC is to improve durability in remote battery applications.

Manganese plays a key role in both chemistries, and we are in line with Euro Manganese to develop low-cost high-performance cathode materials with differentiated and environmentally sustainable supply chains.

Nano One has received funding from a number of government programs, and the current "Advanced Battery Material Scale Project" is supported by the Sustainable Development Technology of Canada (SDTC) and the British Columbia Innovation and Clean Energy (ICE) Fund.

Euro Manganese Inc. is a battery materials company whose main focus is to promote the development of the Chvaletice manganese project, which holds a 100% interest in the project. The proposed project requires the reprocessing of important manganese ore in the tailings of decommissioned mines in the Czech Republic.
