Battery materials – nexeon licenses silicon material technology to accelerate adoption.
Nexeon has licensed its NSP-1 technology to advanced materials giant SKC Co. Ltd. The move ensures that customers have fast and reliable access to these strategic materials on a global basis.
NSP-1 is suitable for use in silicon-graphite hybrid electrodes, and is a replacement for incumbent SiOx materials, offering better first cycle efficiency, higher energy density and other performance improvements. Nexeon materials have been found to offer best in class performance when used in Li-ion batteries, for uses such as automotive power.
