Evaluation of Nano One's patented M2CAM®One-Pot process for BASF's next-generation cathode active materials.
Multi-phase agreement includes detailed commercialization study for pre-pilot, pilot and scaled up production.
Nano One® Materials Corp. (Nano One), a clean technology innovator in battery materials, and BASF SE (BASF), a globally active chemical company with extensive experience in the development and manufacture of battery materials, today announce they have signed a joint development agreement (JDA). Under the JDA, the companies will co-develop a process with reduced by-products for commercial production of next-generation cathode active materials (CAM), based on BASF's HEDTM-family of advanced CAM and using Nano One's patented One-Pot process and metal direct to CAM (M2CAM®) technologies.
BASF has a family of CAM products well-suited to the evolving requirements of batteries in automotive drivetrains and a proven track record of developing these products in collaboration with others. Nano One and BASF will also use the M2CAM®process for higher flexibility in terms of manufacturing approach and resulting product performance, reduced energy consumption and environmental footprint.
The joint development plan has various phases and stage gates and is the result of evaluating Nano One's processes and products. The signing of the JDA represents a significant milestone in the business relationship between BASF and Nano One.
Dan Blondal, Nano One CEO, said: "BASF is a global leader in chemistry and high performance lithium-ion battery cathode materials, and we are proud to be forging new ground with them to improve performance, cost and environmental footprint for CAM production. There is a tremendous opportunity to jointly differentiate the production processes and products for a more resilient and sustainable supply chain. We look forward to advancing this partnership."
Dr. Heiko Urtel, Vice President Global R&D Battery Materials, BASF SE, added, "Nano One has an advanced technology with the potential to improve the product performance of our high-performance cathode active materials and to further simplify the synthesis of battery materials . We are looking forward to building a collaborative working relationship and advancing the business opportunities for our next-generation cathode active materials."

Joint development work advances with Asian cathode producer!
Nano One Advances Joint Development Work with Asian Cathode Producer
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 20, 2021) - Nano One® Materials Corp. (TSXV: NNO) (OTC Pink: NNOMF) (FSE: LBMB)
Joint Development phases one and two were successfully completed.
Project work is on schedule and on budget.
LNMO cathode materials have met performance metrics and initial economic targets.
Next steps include scale up, detailed economic modeling, third-party evaluation and planning for commercialization.
Nano One® Materials Corp. ("Nano One") is a clean technology company with a patented low carbon intensity process for the production of low cost, high-performance cathode materials used in lithium-ion batteries. Nano One today provides a progress update on a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) entered into with a multi-billion-dollar Asian cathode material producer that was previously announced on August 10, 2020.
The first two phases of the joint development program have been focused on LNMO cathode materials (lithium nickel manganese oxide) and have been successfully completed with validation by both parties. Work is now shifting to scale-up considerations, detailed economic analysis, third-party evaluation, and preliminary planning for commercialization.
The JDA provides a framework to develop a business plan for the commercialization of cathode materials, through a joint venture, licensing of Nano One's technology and or through further development work.
"The work under this agreement is on schedule and on budget, and the LNMO materials have met phase one and two metrics for performance and economics," said Nano One CEO, Mr. Dan Blondal. "This partnership is built on trust and a common vision to launch a differentiated and sustainable cathode materials business and we are pleased to be reporting measurable progress towards these goals and the continued execution of our business plans."
The companies are co-developing high-performance LNMO cathode materials using Nano One's patented One-Pot Process. LNMO, also known as high voltage spinel (HVS), is of increasing global interest and has great potential in next-generation lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage and consumer electronic devices. It delivers energy and power on par with other high-performance cathodes and is more cost effective because it is cobalt free, low in nickel and does not require excess lithium. LNMO's three-dimensional spinel structure enables lithium ions to flow more quickly than other types of cathode for fast charging and discharge and keeps it from expanding, contracting and straining the battery. LNMO also has an operating voltage that is 25% higher than commercial high nickel cathodes, enabling fewer cells in applications such as power tools and electric vehicles while providing improved productivity, efficiency, thermal management and power.
