According to Globenewswire, NEO Battery Materials Ltd. has announced a production scale-up to 20 tons per year of silicon anode materials, to meet increasing demand from downstream partners and to commence mass-producibility testing in preparation for factory-level production. The expansion aims to optimize quality control, process efficiency, and cost reduction. Following the breakthrough performance of its P-300 silicon anode series, announced on January 7, 2025, NEO is advancing full-cell evaluations to validate long-term battery performance.
With growing industry demand for silicon-graphite anodes, the company’s production expansion plan includes additional equipment, larger batch processing capabilities, and an optimized synthesis method. New facilities at Gyeonggi Technopark have been secured to support the scale-up. NEO will also launch mass-producibility testing to transition from pilot-scale to full-scale manufacturing, ensuring that the P-300 silicon anodes can be mass-produced without compromising performance or quality. The tests will refine process parameters, identify bottlenecks, and optimize cost structures.
As a a leading developer of low-cost silicon anode materials for high-performance lithium-ion batteries, leveraging its proprietary nanoparticle size and structure technology, NEO aims to efficiently scale production while maintaining product integrity and high-energy efficiency for lithium-ion batteries. In a further development, NEO Battery Materials has received a Notice of Allowance from the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) for a patent titled Composite Nanoparticle Comprising Non-Carbon Nanoparticle and Carbonaceous Layer Thereon, and Process of Preparing the Same. The patent, granted under Article 66 of the Korean Patent Act, strengthens NEO’s intellectual property portfolio and supports its ongoing commercialization efforts.
