SuperLattice Power, Inc. (OTCBB: SLAT) is becoming an emerging leader in the area of power production with their development of superLattice cathode material for use in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, which significantly increases operating voltage range and energy density. The company has been in the developmental stages of creating a new lithium-ion polymer battery that is made up of a new cathode material with a superlattice structure, allowing electric vehicles to be driven over 200 miles compared to the current range of 120 to 140 miles, as the battery operates in a wide voltage range of 4.3V to 2V.
The company’s newly priced cathode material, referred to as superlattice structure, is ready to be produced in large quantities. Their innovative process can be used to produce nano-phase pure superlattice structure, as well as any commercial cathode material available worldwide. The superlattice structure is a hexagonal structure and can accommodate more lithium and more energy. The transition metals were carefully selected to make Superlattice cathode materials safe, environmentally friendly and less expensive.
It is rare for newly invented materials to be tested in large-scale production, since most are only tested within laboratories for small scale production. Superlattice Power anticipates transfering all potential material in industrial levels and using them in high-degree battery production, therefore testing not only the materials but the additional properties of the battery so that they can bring potential battery materials from laboratory scale to industrial scale. They have already commenced in-house production of all superlattice structure in a higher density and found a way to optimize the process parameters suitable for large batteries, which will be used in the field of uninterruptible power supply (UPS)”.
Currently, the battery division of Superlattice Power is conducting research on a series of cathode materials with superlattice structure. The goal of this research is to model different cathode structures and optimize process parameters to obtain a single phase and pure material to fit the industrial scale. The company’s research and development team has successfully synthesized a cathode material with a superlattice oxide structure based on manganese, cobalt, nickel and titanium. During production of the first batch, 100kg of phase-pure material was produced.
