(TSXV: NNO) (OTC Pink: NNOMF) (FSE: LBMB)Nano One to co-develop niobium coated battery cathode materials with CBMM.CBMM is the global leader in the production and commercialization of niobium products and technologies.The project will build on CBMM's niobium products and technologies, and on Nano One's successful demonstration and patenting of niobium coated cathode materials.Niobium coatings protect the cathode from dissolution or undesired interfacial reactions with liquid or solid electrolytes, enhancing long-term cycling stability.Nano One's One-Pot process eliminates extra steps and costs, by forming the niobium coating simultaneously with the underlying cathode material. 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 announced today that it has entered into an advanced lithium-ion battery cathode materials coating development agreement with CBMM, the global leader in the production and commercialization of niobium products and technologies. The objective of the agreement is to optimize Nano One's patented One-Pot process for nickel rich cathode materials using niobium from CBMM as a coating. Project details and financial contributions are confidential.\"Nano One has successfully demonstrated the use of niobium as a coating for various cathode materials and has several related patents now granted and pending,\" said Nano One CTO Dr. Stephen Campbell. \"Our One-Pot process enables us to form coatings simultaneously with the underlying cathode material. This avoids extra steps and costs while enabling individual nanocrystals, also known as single crystals, to be coated for increased durability. With the support and partnership of CBMM, we will build on these successes and optimize our One-Pot process for the production of niobium coated nickel rich cathode materials for demanding applications such as electric vehicles.\"Niobium is a key element in the advancement of lithium-ion battery cathode materials as it can be made to form a coating on the outer surface of each grain of a cathod...
