The Partnership Between Global Niobium Producer CBMM and Canadian Multinational Nano One Materials Corporation Will Make Lithium-Ion Batteries More Stable and Safe for Electric Cars

The world leader in niobium production and commercialization, CBMM, has entered into a major international partnership in the battery segment with Canadian multinational Nano One Materials Corporation. Aiming for commercialization in the electric vehicle market, the new partnership is to develop an innovative process that reduces costs and improves the performance of cathodes used in lithium-ion batteries, which is significantly superior to conventional technology.

To achieve this “feat,” the multinationals will use Niobium Oxide in this process, referred to as the “One-Pot Process.”

According to the Brazilian Company for Metallurgy and Mining, the new technology brings a significant reduction in costs during the production stages of high-energy cathodes, in addition to increasing stability for prolonged charge and discharge cycles, thus ensuring greater battery lifespan. “With the support of CBMM, we will refine our process for producing niobium-coated nickel-rich cathode materials, which will allow us to meet demands such as those from the electric vehicle market,” says Nano One’s Technical Director, Stephen Campbell.

CBMM Partners with SENAI and Opens Pilot Plant for Lithium-Ion Batteries and Supercapacitors Using Niobium and Nanotechnology

The development of technologies utilizing niobium, led by CBMM, is the result of substantial investments. Every year, the company invests about R$ 200 million in its Technology Program, aimed at developing innovative solutions and projects to diversify its market operations. For this new battery project with the Canadian company, an investment of R$ 60 million will be made.

In April, a partnership between SENAI and CBMM enabled the inauguration of a pilot plant for lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors, located at the SENAI Institute of Innovation in Electrochemistry in Curitiba (PR). The idea is to foster the national ecosystem for battery and supercapacitor production. The technology combines the potential of niobium with the use of nanotechnology for developing safer lithium-ion batteries, featuring faster recharging and greater stability.

And CBMM’s technological revolution goals do not stop there. The company has an extensive list of partnerships with leading universities around the world and continues to look out for investment opportunities in startups that can enhance innovations involving niobium.
