This will be Nano One's tenth patent and is directed to improved methods of producing lithium ion cathode materials.\"This patent relates to the methods we have developed for scaled up production of lithium ion battery cathode materials, \" said Mr. Blondal. \"It reinforces our patenting strategy and positions us well in a fast paced market as we evaluate our technology with strategic interests in the battery supply chain.\"The USPTO issues a notice of allowance after it makes a determination that a patent should be granted from a patent application. Issuance is expected by early 2019.Nano One's processing technology applies to cost reductions and performance improvements for lithium iron phosphate (LFP), lithium nickel manganese cobaltate (LNMC) and lithium manganese nickelate (LMN, High Voltage Spinel or HVS). Innovation continues on these materials and occasionally on other emerging chemistries. As an example, Nano One recently submitted a patent application for an economical method of producing niobium titanium oxide (NTO). NTO is a higher density anode alternative to lithium titanium oxide (LTO) and it has specialized applications where fast charging, safety and longevity are critical. \"NTO was developed by Toshiba,\" said Mr. Blondal, \"for use in a future generation of fast charging batteries for mild hybrid EV applications. Our patent pending process could overcome some of NTO's production challenges and we are pleased to be adding it to our technology offering along with LFP, NMC and HVS.\"As a Reporting Issuer, Nano One would also like to report that it has granted 2,125,000 options with an exercise price of $1.28 to directors and officers of the company. Mr. Blondal added \"The board, management and scientific teams at Nano One are confident in our growing portfolio of technologies and we are actively pursuing strategic interests and partnership opportunities.\" Nano One Materials Corp.Dan Blondal, CEO For information with respect to Nano One or the contents of this news release, please ...
