Delft IMP to initiate a collaboration project with Hyundai motor and Kia on batteries using nano-coating technology. As result of the 2020 EV and Battery Challenge competition, that attracted 240 applications from 36 countries, Delft IMP is one of the startups who has been selected to participate in a collaborative project with Hyundai & Kia.
Hyundai Motor Company & Kia Corporation (South Korea) and Delft IMP (the Netherlands) have agreed to execute a PoC (Proof of Concept) project to develop a new battery solution and to prove its feasibility and validity by using an advanced gas-phase nano coating technology.
Dr. Roderik Colen, CEO of Delft IMP:
By applying nanometre-thin coatings on powders, we are capable of creating new composite materials leading to better performance and enhanced durability of batteries.
“Using a proprietary technology originating from the TU Delft, we can produce these at an industrially relevant scale. Now is the right time to start commercializing this.”
“It is a matter of time before breakthrough developments using ultra-thin coatings become commercially available.”
“Hyundai Motor and Kia will keep working with startups from all over the world to build synergies using innovative technologies.” Keith Noh team manager from Hyundai explains
