Nano One Provides Update on Joint Projects with Saint-Gobain

By: Newsfile

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 4, 2021) - Nano One® Materials Corp. (TSX: NANO) (OTC Pink: NNOMF) (FSE: LBMB) ("Nano One") is a technology company with a patented and scalable industrial process for the production of low cost, low environmental footprint and high-performance cathode powders used in lithium-ion batteries.

Nano One's Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Stephen Campbell, is pleased to announce the successful completion of its joint development project with Saint-Gobain. This project began in December 2018 and focused on optimization of the thermal processing of Nano One produced cathode materials and Saint-Gobain's furnace materials under a range of firing conditions. Success on this project has paved the way for additional collaborative opportunities that are currently under consideration.

"This project has provided valuable insight on thermal processing conditions for various cathode materials and furnace materials," said Stephen Campbell. "We have developed thermal processing expertise to optimize the performance of cathode materials and throughout the project, we have shared a collaborative and open relationship with our colleagues at Saint-Gobain. Potential future work will build on those outcomes, add manufacturing know-how and enhance the value of our process technology and business offerings."

Saint-Gobain remains a consortium member within Nano One's "Scaling Advanced Battery Materials" project supported by Sustainable Development Technology Canada ("SDTC") and the British Columbia Innovative Clean Energy ("ICE") fund.

Mr. Natesh Krishan, General Manager of Engineered Ceramics of Saint-Gobain, said, "Our product development teams have made good progress in the evaluation of the thermal aspects of cathode material synthesis. The partnership with Nano One has been important to Saint-Gobain through advancing our understanding of the cathode material firing process to allow an enhanced product offering to better serve this market."

Having built a positive working relationship over the past 2 years, Nano One and Saint-Gobain are discussing the scope of work for additional joint projects and will continue to explore future business and co-development opportunities.
