NEO Battery Materials, a developer of cutting-edge materials for lithium-ion batteries, has unveiled its latest product, NBMSiDE® P-300, which promises longer-lasting, faster-charging batteries. This innovation is expected to benefit electric vehicles, electronics, and emerging industries like space exploration and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
The newly launched NBMSiDE® P-300 sets a new standard by blending silicon with traditional graphite anodes. This mix allows batteries to store significantly more energy—up to 130% more compared to standard graphite anodes. For example, with just 7% silicon, the product achieves a 43% increase in capacity while using half the material required by competitors.
The product also boasts easy integration with existing battery designs, making it a strong contender for large-scale commercial use. Currently undergoing final optimization, the P-300 is expected to pave the way for more efficient, cost-effective battery technologies.
NEO’s P-300 technology is also positioned to address the demands of solid-state batteries, known for their safety and high energy density. These batteries are essential for industries like space and eVTOL aircraft, where lightweight, high-performance energy solutions are critical.
Solid-state batteries avoid the flammability risks of conventional batteries and perform well under extreme conditions, making them ideal for cutting-edge applications. NEO’s silicon anodes, with their improved conductivity and lithium-ion diffusion, are designed to work seamlessly within these advanced systems.
Spencer Huh, NEO’s President & CEO, shared the company’s ambition to expand its technology to new frontiers. “By targeting space and eVTOL markets alongside electric vehicles, we aim to address the growing demand for lightweight, thermally stable, and high-performance batteries. This is a significant step in advancing energy storage for next-generation transportation and aerospace.”
To safeguard its advancements, NEO has applied for a patent in South Korea, covering proprietary methods for improving silicon particle size and durability. This ensures the company’s technology remains ahead in a competitive market.
With NBMSiDE® P-300, NEO Battery Materials continues to position itself as a leader in energy storage innovation, addressing the evolving needs of both traditional and emerging industries.
