First commercial order for Ultranode battery anode

Clean energy technology company AnteoTech has received the first commercial order for its proprietary Ultranode battery anode technology containing 70 percent low cost silicon.

The order comes from a leading European EV manufacturer ‘EV1’ that has trialled the Ultranode product.

EV1 is seeking step change in silicon content for their next generation EV batteries, and will continue to evaluate Ultranode in parallel with the development of an Anteo X containing anode.

The Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of AnteoTech David Radford said: “We are pleased to expand our relationship with EV1 and support not only their current battery optimisation programme using Anteo X, but their future battery vision of increased silicon content anodes, which we believe only our Ultranode can offer them.

“The anode that is being purchased contains 70 percent silicon which is significantly higher than the anode currently being evaluated which has 10 percent silicon active material.

“This new commercial sale and evaluation will take place of the coming months and deepen our potential future engagement with this leading EV manufacturer.”

According to a statement, EV1 will shortly commence an evaluation programme where the performance enhancing characteristics of the Ultranode will be assessed.

“The testing of Ultranode will take place in parallel with EV1’s ongoing evaluation of Anteo X, supporting both their current plans for battery optimisation and future goals of higher silicon battery anodes.”
