Recently Issued and/or Allowed Patents:
- Japanese Patent JP 7503208: Describes a novel battery assembled with high voltage spinel LNMO cathode material made using the One-Pot process and paired with an electrolyte for high durability.
- Indian Patent IN 512878: Describes the novel formation of a cathode material, with a protective coating thereon, directly in a single processing step.
- Japanese Patent JP 7518972 and Taiwan Patent TW 110132742: Describes the M2CAM® technology using the One-Pot sulfate-free process for the novel formation of lithiated mixed metal oxide cathode materials.
- Taiwan Patent TW I849754: Describes a novel kiln design for efficient calcination and thermal processing of CAM.
- United States Patent US 12,077,452: Describes a novel lithiated NMC precursor material prepared in the One-Pot process prior to thermal processing.
- China Patent CN 113875045: Describes an innovative one pot method that forms a novel coating on NMC, nickel-rich NMC and LNMO cathode materials to improve stability and durability when used in a lithium-ion battery.
The benefits of Nano One’s patented One-Pot process and M2CAM technology mainly attribute to the elimination of the traditional precursor steps (pCAM) by integrating them with the lithium addition step (CAM), high efficiency thermal processing, and the elimination of sodium sulphate wastewater. This is aimed at reducing complexity, cost, footprint, energy intensity, and greenhouse gas emissions compared to incumbent processes. This has the additional potential benefit of making One-Pot enabled CAM production facilities easier to site, permit, construct, and operate while decoupling from foreign supply chains of concern.
