Neometals: Lithium Titanate Battery Test Results

Neometals Ltd (ASX: NMT) (“NMT” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce resultsfrom lithium battery cycling test work demonstrating the superior performance characteristics of its Lithium Titanate anode material.  In 2017, the Company engaged a leading US test facility to commence 100‐cycle cycle testing of coin cell batteries using Lithium Titanate (“LTO”) anode material made by the Company at the CSIRO.
As quoted in the press release:

Lithium Titanate is a leading anode (negative electrode) material, which can replace graphite.  Its primary advantage over graphite is the surface area of the anode of LTO being around 100 square metres per gram in contrast to typically 3 square metres for graphite.  The enlarged surface area enables electronsto enter and leave the anode much more rapidly, leading to ultrafast recharging, enhanced battery life and enhanced safety performance (practical elimination of thermal runaway).
