(News Bulletin 247) – General Motors has made a strategic investment in Nanoramic Laboratories through its subsidiary GM Ventures, the American energy storage and advanced materials company announced on Wednesday.
In a statement, Nanoramic says it plans to collaborate with the automotive giant to support the development of its proprietary nanocarbon electrode technology dubbed ‘Neocarbonix’.
This system, installed at the heart of lithium-ion batteries, should make it possible to improve their costs, efficiency and durability.
Neocarbonix electrodes, produced using a low-cost process based on an advanced 3D nanocarbon bonding structure, are also expected to help eliminate the need for toxic solvents, such as NMP, when the manufacture and
