Nano One said it plans to use the net proceeds for ongoing research and development, pilot plant expansion, business development and strategic initiatives with partners and collaborators, as well as for general corporate purposes.
The Vancouver company has developed patented technology for the low-cost production of high-performance lithium-ion battery cathode materials used in electric vehicles, energy storage and consumer electronics. Its one-pot process eliminates the need for costly and energy-intensive conversion of nickel, cobalt and manganese to sulfate.
