UniverCell Holding GmbH, Hamburg, Germany, and Nanoramic Laboratories, Boston, MA, United States, today announced the two companies have signed a non-binding LOI to begin strategic collaboration and bring Nanoramic’s Neocarbonix™ electrode technology to full-commercialization.
Under the agreement, UniverCell will grant Nanoramic worldwide, non-exclusive support to adapt and integrate Nanoramic’s Neocarbonix™ electrode technology for use in UniverCell’s battery products. Both companies will jointly work towards developing the next generation of Li-ion batteries, ready for mass-commercialization by Q4 2021.
“This partnership combines UniverCell’s deep manufacturing expertise with Nanoramic’s revolutionary Neocarbonix™ technology,” said Eli Cohen, VP of Corporate Development for Nanoramic. “We are now best positioned to bring industry-leading Li-ion batteries to the European market.”
Neocarbonix™ unlocks the solution to low-cost, high performance batteries using standard production infrastructure. By using a nanoscopic carbon binding structure that replaces standard PVDF polymer binders, the Neocarbonix™ technology delivers up to 30% cost and performance improvement to current best-in-class batteries.
“We are excited to join forces in order to push this promising new technology to a proof of concept on the world stage,” said Dr. Stefan Permien, CEO of UniverCell.
