G3 Elastic polymer-coated Si -9-30-20

G 3 has:

• developed the anode materials that precisely meet battery requirements for next-
  generation EV batteries as outlined by the industry.
• innovative battery solutions which start with silicon and stabilize it with an elastic, ion-conducting polymer that integrates into the electrode with an elastic binder.

G 3 ’s expansion supports the industry’s need for better battery solutions recently discussed by a leading EV OEM.

1. The most commonly used material for lithium-ion batteries today is graphite.
2. However, graphite can only store lithium up to 372 mAh/g during a battery charge.
3. In contrast, silicon (Si) can store lithium up to an amount of 4200 mAh/g), significantly increasing energy density.
4. G 3 ’s patent for its elastomer-encapsulated particles of high-capacity anode active materials for lithium batteries (US Patent No. 10,734,642 (08/04/2020)) covers essentially any high-elasticity and ion-conducting polymer for lithium-ion battery anode applications.

Recently, industry leaders stated that the anode material cost could be dropped to $1.20 a kilowatt hour by using new surface stabilization and elastic binder approaches (88% reduction in the anode material cost).

G 3  has the most significant intellectual properties (IPs) in high-capacity anode materials with 80+ US patents (issued or pending), 35 of which are specifically directed at elastic ion-conducting polymer coatings and binders.

Industry-leading EV OEMs indicate elastic and ion-conducting polymer-encapsulated Si technology will be needed to drive EV battery technology that will lower cost and provide higher energy density, extending the EV driving range by 20%.

G 3 ’s innovative Si anodes can deliver this and more today as a drop-in technology.

Furthermore, Global Graphene Group ’s entire suite of battery-enabling technologies can deliver driving range improvements of 50-100% at significant cost savings.

“G³’s Si-anode technology meet these criteria,” said Dr. Bor Jang, G³ CEO and co-founder. “Recent announcements by EV OEM’s validate that G³’s Si-anode solutions will be a key enabler for next-generation EV batteries. Our team is excited that the EV industry is focused on the same critical path as we see as foundational using Si-anode improving EV batteries.”

“Electric vehicles will continue to grow global market share over the next decade,” said Adam Quirk, G³ VP of Business Development. “Our EV battery technology, including Si-anode, are very attractive to EV manufacturers. It’s a drop-in solution that can easily be incorporated into existing manufacturing processes. We are engaged with many top-tier OEMs who are now validating our solutions.”

G 3  is actively seeking to establish partnerships for expanding manufacturing capacity of its advanced anode materials.
