Nanoexa Delivers Disruptive Battery Technology to Korean Manufacturer Strong Partnership Enables Rapid Commercialization of Advanced Batteries
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 19, 2007 Nanoexa, a nanotechnology-based clean energy company, today announced that the company has delivered new technology to Decktron, Nanoexa¹s publicly traded subsidiary in Korea, as a result of a Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) agreement. Decktron, an advanced technology manufacturing company, will apply the nanotechnology to the development of a new generation of lithium ion batteries.
³This new nanotechnology will enable Decktron to create the best batteries on the market,² said S. S. Kim, Chief Strategy Officer of Decktron. ³Since we partnered with Nanoexa last fall, we have been confident in the company¹s continued ability to provide Decktron with the kind of technology that will secure our position as the battery industry leader.²
To be used in combination with existing intellectual property from Argonne National Laboratory, the technology is based on a positive electrode material that is comprised of a unique nano-crystalline layered-layered composite structure. This cathode technology will give Decktron¹s batteries the ability to deliver more than 3000 W/kg, making Decktron¹s lithium batteries among the best-performing on the market today. In addition to the technology, the intellectual property transfer includes a description of low-cost, scaleable methods to manufacture positive electrode material in high volume.
³This rapid IP output and subsequent technology transfer affirms Nanoexa¹s commitment to commercializing the next wave of battery advancements,² said Michael Pak, CEO of Nanoexa. ³The layered-layered design of the battery will ensure its stability and safety. We are confident that this agreement with Decktron will result in a safe energy storage solution perfect for the power tool and HEV markets.²
