We’re extremely impressed with TexPower’s cathode materials.

Results from initial trials show >230 mAh/g, which equates to a 25% increase in energy density and a 10% reduction in battery costs for electric vehicles over existing battery materials. 'US-Made, Ultrahigh-Energy Cathodes Will Enable Low-Cost Electric Vehicle Batteries for North American Market.įorge Nano and TexPower are collaborating under a recently-awarded SBIR Phase I grant to further enhance TexPower’s cobalt-free, nickel-based ultrahigh energy cathode powders with Forge Nano’s low-cost materials modification nanotechnology. Cobalt stabilized the battery chemistry, but over time has proven to be the limitation in the worldwide expansion and proliferation of a battery based world. Manthiram used cobalt in the formation of the cathode. Goodenough, working alongside his doctorate student A. They determine how many ions the LIB can store and how fast it can pump them out, by Cathode alone playing the major role. Manthiram and his two most brilliant scientists reinvented the fundamental chemistry of the positively charged Cathode.Īlmost everything in battery design comes down to the materials of which the cathode, anode and electrolyte are made. John B Goodenough for the work that led to the invention of the LIB, Prof. Manthiram gave the acceptance speech for Nobel Prize in Chemistry, awarded to Prof. Arumugam Manthiram have produced, or been part of the invention of almost every major advance in modern batteries. Over a two-decade period, the lab at the UTA, founded by Prof. TexPower introduces a patented new high-performance Lithium-Ion Battery technology created by the University of Texas at Austin (UTA) battery lab, founded by two pioneers credited with inventing the Li-ion battery.
