NantG Power overcomes the shortfalls of legacy batteries by using manufacturing and materials innovations – application-designed 3D electrodes, proprietary anode/cathode, next-generation electrolyte materials, and novel interphase materials – that improve energy density, charging speeds, safety, and cost.
Are maxed out in terms of energy and power density and can only offer incremental improvements to the current state-of-the-art performance. The current applications demand for a quantum leap to enable energy storage that supports widespread implementation of electric vehicles, renewable energy generation and portable electronics that can keep up with the exponentially increasing computational power.
Based on nanomaterials designed to overcome the shortfalls of legacy batteries and bring us into a new era of batteries with two major innovations – an application-designed 3D electrode microstructure and proprietary cathode/anode materials – that improve energy density, charging speeds and safety.
Both active and inactive materials are engineered to combine extremely high electronic/ionic conductivity and tailored interphases for maximum electrochemical reaction rates. This allows us to tune the structure and chemical composition of the electrodes to the application resulting in better engineered and performing battery cells.
We apply artificial intelligence and large scale cluster computing based on proprietary multiphysics continuum-scale code to engineer and optimize our electrode and cell designs. This allows us to minimize the cells’ dead components,- ( e.g. binders, conductive additives and separators) in favor of maximum amounts of active materials. In addition, the 3D electrode microstructure with low tortuosity and tailored porosity provides for better material utilization and power.
We source North America-produced lithium and are transitioning from cobalt- and nickel-based cathodes to more environmentally and 100% domestically-produced cathodes using water-based binders with future generation technologies employing a dry and binderless processes.
