SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 19, 2007 – Nanoexa, a nanotechnology-based
clean energy company, today announced that the company has delivered new technology to Decktron, Nanoexa’s publicly
traded subsidiary in Korea, as a result of a Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) agreement. Decktron, an advanced technology
manufacturing company, will apply the nanotechnology to the development of a new generation of lithium ion batteries.
“This new nanotechnology will enable Decktron to create the best batteries on the market,”
said S. S. Kim, Chief Strategy Officer of Decktron. “Since we partnered with Nanoexa last fall, we have been confident
in the company’s continued ability to provide Decktron with the kind of technology that will secure our position as the
battery industry leader.”
To be used in combination with existing intellectual property from Argonne National
Laboratory, the technology is based on a positive electrode material that is comprised of a unique nano-crystalline
layered-layered composite structure. This cathode technology will give Decktron’s batteries the ability to deliver
more than 3000 W/kg, making Decktron’s lithium batteries among the best-performing on the market today. In addition
to the technology, the intellectual property transfer includes a description of low-cost, scaleable methods to manufacture
positive electrode material in high volume.
“This rapid IP output and subsequent technology transfer affirms Nanoexa’s commitment to
commercializing the next wave of battery advancements,” said Michael Pak, CEO of Nanoexa. “The layered-layered design of
the battery will ensure its stability and safety. We are confident that this agreement with Decktron will result in a
safe energy storage solution perfect for the power tool and HEV markets.”
Nanoexa is an international clean energy company focused on bringing innovative clean
energy storage products to market. With a rapid systems-level approach to commercialization, Nanoexa is has assembled
an extensive IP portfolio, initially focused on lithium ion batteries. Through its novel materials and computational
