Nano One Hires Experienced Cathode Commercialisation Lead

  • Mr. Denis Geoffroy joins Nano One to lead cathode commercialisation effort.
  • LFP pioneer, cathode production expert and accomplished leader.
  • 25 years of lithium-ion battery experience.

Nano OneĀ® Materials Corp. (TSX: NANO) (OTC Pink: NNOMF) (FSE: LBMB) (Nano One) is a clean technology company with patented processes for the low-cost, low-environmental footprint production of high-performance cathode materials used in lithium-ion batteries. Nano One is pleased to announce the hiring of Mr. Denis Geoffroy, to lead its cathode commercialisation and global expansions efforts. Mr. Geoffroy will focus on emerging automotive scale opportunities starting with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) in North America. He will also support ongoing efforts on other cathode chemistries, including nickel-rich (NMC) and manganese-rich (LNMO) cathode materials.

"I am thrilled to be joining the Nano One team," said Mr. Geoffroy. "I have followed their progress on the One Pot process and M2CAM technologies for quite some time and am encouraged to see the cost and sustainability advantages up close. New interest in LFP from major OEM automotive companies is clear, and the opportunity to manufacture LFP cathode materials is both substantial in scope and strategically important to the battery materials supply chain. I am looking forward to bringing automotive scale production to North America, Europe and beyond with Nano One."

Mr. Geoffroy is a seasoned executive with over 25 years of battery experience including cathode active materials with Phostech Lithium and Johnson Matthey, solid-state lithium batteries, and recycling. He was a key member of the Phostech team that pioneered and commercialised two different processes to fabricate LFP and in 2010, he built and became general manager at its commercial LFP plant, based in Quebec, Canada.

"We are excited to have someone of Denis' caliber joining the team," stated COO Mr. Alex Holmes. "To meet the net-zero transition to electric vehicles, nations must push for comprehensive battery supply chains that include a secure supply of cathode materials and other battery cell components. Nano One's competitive edge lies in technological solutions that leapfrog traditional battery supply chains with an enhanced value propositionĀ that drives down costs, complexity, and environmental footprint for a growing list of global partners. Denis' deep commercialization know-how and management experience adds tremendous value to this effort."
