Dr. Stephen Campbell, Principal Scientist at Nano One (TSX-V: NNO) (OTC Pink: NNOMF) (FSE: LBMB), is pleased to announce that Nano One has been issued Canadian Patent No. 2,906,009. This is Nano One’s sixth patent and is directed at a method for forming a mixed metal powder, particularly for use as a cathode material in next generation lithium ion batteries.

“This patent adds to Nano One’s growing intellectual property portfolio, extending its protection to Canada where there is a rich history of innovation in lithium ion batteries,” said Dr. Campbell. “Nano One continues to grow; learning and innovating to enhance the performance of lithium ion batteries, using our scalable process. We are successfully executing on our patenting strategy and advancing our work with other commercial interests.”

In addition to the six patents granted, Nano One has over 30 pending patent applications worldwide. This latest patent adds to a valuable asset base and augments related patents including U.S. patent number 9,136,534, Japanese patent number 6,271,599 and Taiwanese patent number 1,517,487.

Nano One is developing technology for the commercial production of high performance cathode materials used in lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles, energy storage and consumer electronics. Nano One’s nanostructuring technology can address upstream lithium and cobalt supply constraints while improving downstream cost, performance, and durability of the cathode materials. The technology applies to all types of cathode materials and has applications with conventional lithium ion and next generation solid state batteries. Nano One has built a demonstration pilot plant, has preliminary engineering plans in place for full scale production and is working with major global commercial interests to advance its lithium ion technology.
