SUPERLATTICE POWER INC., (OTCBB:SLAT) ATTRACTS MAJOR US COMPANY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LITHIUM ION BATTERY TECHNOLOGY USING THEIR PARTIALLY LITHIATED CATHODE AND ANODE
Mooresville, NC – SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 – Superlattice Power, Inc. (OTCBB:SLAT) www.superlatticepower.com emerging leader in the development and marketing of next generation of lithium-powered batteries worldwide, will soon announce a partnership with a major USA company to achieve advanced development of lithium ion battery technology.
Superlattice Power Inc. researchers established an innovative idea to increase the cycle life of lithium ion battery packs when their proprietary battery design is used with partially lithiated metallic anodes and cathodes.
Today’s fully lithiated cathode materials with unlithiated anode material exhibits huge capacity loss after few preliminary cycles. It has been observed that metallic oxide anodes have the potential of higher capacity compared to carbonaceous materials. However, currently investigated metal oxide anodes suffer from large irreversible capacity loss initially due to formation of solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and irreversible lithium oxide in metallic oxide anode. It requires a strong effort and many process steps to reduce formation of lithium oxide. The formation of lithium oxide reduces the reversible capacity due to deficiency of lithium ion present in anode structure.
Dr. Vishal Mahajan and Dr. Surajit Sengupta are actively working closely with a major company specialized in lithium technology toward this advancement.
An introduction of partially lithiated anode and cathode in a lithium ion rechargeable battery system will have the major advantages:
• Non-existent or negligible irreversible capacity loss
• Higher discharge capacity and its retention from first cycle
• No need of secondary processes to control formation of SEI and lithium oxide
• Extended cycle life due to negligible reversible loss of lithium per cycle
• Less expensive due to utilization of metal oxide anode
Superlattice Power, Inc. (SLAT) production has a new standard. Superlattice exhibits power, safety, and environmental concern at a level above anything else. Hybrid Technologies has taken Superlattice from a laboratory scale to industrial scale, and are pioneers in producing nano and submicron materials on a large scale.
