[{"type":"text","content":" Saint-Laurent, Quebec , Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) CEO of Manganese X Energy (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC2) (OTC:QB:MNXXF) (FRANKFURT: 9SC2) Martin Kepman announces race for new type of battery Manganese is an integral component in many potential solutions and a candidate for disruption in the lithium-ion battery space Engineers and scientists across the globe are racing to find a more sustainable, more efficient alternative to the lithium-ion battery, which has been powering most of the portable devices for the past three decades. “Manganese is a candidate for disruption in the lithium-ion battery space. Manganese has elemental qualities that have the potential to improve density, capacity, rechargeability, safety and battery longevity. The timing for establishing a North American Manganese resource could not be better. With the global push for greener technology and lessening the carbon footprint, Manganese X is poised for leadership in providing a domestic supply of manganese for the rechargeable battery industry, everything from the small consumer batteries in electronic devices, smartphones and energy storage power reserves, to the EV and hybrid electric vehicle industry,” said Martin Kepman, CEO of Manganese X Energy Corp (TSXV: MN) (FSE: 9SC2) (OTC:QB:MNXXF) (FRANKFURT: 9SC2) , in a recent interview. Touted by the media as the “disruptive entrepreneur,” manganese futurist Kepman won’t settle for the status quo, evidenced by his 40 years plus career helping businesses disrupt their sectors and maximize their efficiencies. Manganese & Battery Technology Other than being an ingredient in exciting potential alternatives to lithium-ion batteries, manganese is an important component of the two most commonly produced types of batteries available today. Lithium-ion-manganese oxide (LMO) batteries are the type of batteries currently used to power almost everything rechargeable. Manganese makes up the majority (61%) of the cathode of these batteries. Nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) batteries, which are used in electric vehicles, also contain a large amount of manganese. Manganese is also an important component in manufacturing steel. Due to the high demand for manganese in today’s technological landscape, finding ethical sources of manganese is essential. Why Replace Lithium-Ion Batteries? Today, electric vehicle (EV) te...
