NEO Battery Materials Ltd. announced that the Company has filed the 9th patent regarding a significant development in the silicon anode manufacturing process. NEO Battery Materials has submitted the 9th patent entitled Silicone composite manufacturing method to the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO). This patent protects a significant innovation in the manufacturing process of NEO?s proprietary silicon anode materials, NBMSiDE.

Unique additives that are effectively adsorbed on silicon particle surfaces have been employed to prevent silicon particles? agglomeration or clustering effect by acting as an interparticle buffer layer during manufacturing. This technological advancement enhances (i) the production yield to directly reduce manufacturing costs and (ii) the particle size distribution to allow increased uniformity and quality control.
