NEO has retained exceptional scientific advisors specializing in solid-state battery research, and the Company will continue to add to the talent pool to expand development capacity. NBMSiDE™ compatibility testing will commence with various solid-state electrolyte materials through research projects with the SSB R&D Task Force advisors. SSB-powered EVs have the potential to increase the energy density by 2 to 2.5 times, and downstream manufacturers have recognized NBMSiDE™ may demonstrate this required performance target due to a 70 to 80% higher initial energy capacity compared to current technologies. Accordingly, the Company seeks to launch an SSB-compatible NBMSiDE™ product line with the SSB R&D Task Force. Dr. Dongmok Whang Promoted to Lead Scientific Advisor of Scientific Advisory Board Appointed as a Scientific Advisor in November 2021, Dr. Dongmok Whang has been promoted as the Lead Scientific Advisor of the Scientific Advisory Board. He will oversee the silicon anode integration into solid-state battery materials and advise on NEO’s holistic research direction. Dr. Whang is a distinguished scholar specializing in an array of functional nanomaterials, which have wide-ranging applications in lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells, and diverse energy storage solutions. With a prolific academic portfolio, he has contributed to ~200 scholarly papers and holds more than 80 patents. His influential research has garnered over 15,000 citations, underscoring the significant ...
