Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) Jumps 9% in Thursday Trading

Superlattice Power closed the day Thursday at $2.02 a share, an increase of 9.19%. Nearly 140,000 shares were traded; almost four times its average trading volume. This increase came the day following the release of the company’s quarterly 10Q report. In the report, Superlattice Power disclosed its agreement to invest a minimum of $1.5 million in each of the next two years in development of technologies for lithium batteries.

Superlattice Power is focused on devoting its resources and efforts to develop and market lithium-powered batteries. The batteries are then used in vehicles and in residential and commercial applications. They are being used by partnered companies, such as Hybrid Technologies, to power emission free electric vehicles. Operations between the two companies are smooth and effective because they have the same goal in mind, and Superlattice Power actually rents out 5,000 square feet of Hybrid Technologies’ North Carolina facility. The hope for the companies is to extend the life and range of batteries for electric vehicles.

Superlattice power has experimented with shapes, sizes and materials for their products to increase battery life and power. They have made considerable progress in advancing the next generation lithium-powered batteries. The superlattice structure is a hexagonal structure and can accommodate more lithium and therefore more energy. The elements, and more specifically transition metals used, have been selected precisely to make superlattice cathode materials safe, environmentally friendly and less expensive.

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) – Committed to Producing Superlattice Structures on an Industrial Scale

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) is a company focused on developing and producing the next-generation lithium battery. These batteries can be used to power electric vehicles and have potential applications in homes and commercial buildings as a source of zero-emissions power.

Superlattice Power’s researchers have investigated high-capacity and energy-dense superlattice structures in an attempt to develop the next-generation lithium-ion polymer battery that is environmentally non-toxic, safe, less expensive and more powerful. What is a superlattice? The term refers to the crystal structure of a compound and indicates periodically alternating layers of several substances.

Until the efforts made by Superlattice, all prior efforts to substitute lithium for the transition metal have failed. The prior efforts all resulted in a loss of energy storage capacity over time. However, Superlattice Power announced earlier this year that the company has synthsized a new cathode material called Superlattice Structure which is suitable for use in batteries.

The next major hurdle Superlattice Power had to overcome was the ability to produce the new cathode material in large quantities at a cost that is competitive with the cheapest cathode materials currently available. Working in conjunction with Hybrid Technologies (HYBR.OB), the company announced on June 9, 2008, that Superlattice now has the capability to produce the new cathode material on a large scale. This innovative process will not only be able to produce the company’s new product, but also any commercial cathode material available worldwide.

Superlattice Power, Inc. (SLAT.OB) to Power Hybrid Technologies’ Highly Anticipated X Prize Competition Entry Extending Drive Range to 200 Miles

Superlattice Power, Inc. (SLAT.OB) announced that it will develop a superlattice battery specifically for Hybrid Technologies’ (HYBR.OB) vehicle entry into the Automotive X Prize (AXP) competition sponsored by Progressive. Superlattice is an emerging powerhouse in the development and marketing of lithium-powered batteries worldwide.

The AXP judges will be analyzing 64 entrants based upon six factors: fuel economy, design, performance, price, production reality, and technology feasibility. Hybrid’s AXP vehicle is currently being developed at the company’s Mooresville facility. The engineering team’s goal is for the Hybrid entry to reach speeds of 175 mph and a drive range of at least 300 miles per charge.

Superlattice Power’s lithium ion polymer batteries are manufactured with a more affordable cathode material referred to as ‘superlattice structure.’ The batteries’ elements and transitioned metals were selected specifically to make the cathode materials safe, more affordable, and environmentally friendly. These next-generation batteries are manufactured into a hexagonal framework that can accommodate more lithium and can store more energy. The increases in lithium and energy storage result in a 30-percent increase in driving range, which equates to about 200 miles per charge.

A team from Popular Mechanics has already test-driven three of Hybrid Technologies all-electric vehicles—the RUSH sports car, the DASH version of the Mini Cooper and the RYDER motorcycle—and were “very impressed.” All three vehicles already reach speeds of 70 to 120 mph and drive between 100 and 120 miles per charge.

With the combination of the Superlattice battery and the Hybrid team’s new aerodynamic vehicle design, no one can really guess the actual level of speed and distance that Hybrid’s AXP entry will reach. Long-standing members of the vehicle industry should not be surprised if the Hybrid entry drives away with the $10 million AXP prize.

Superlattice Power, Inc. (SLAT.OB) Embarks on New Lithium Battery Material

Superlattice Power, Inc. (OTCBB: SLAT) is a rising leader in the development and marketing of the next generation of lithium-powered batteries worldwide. Recently, the company reported that they worked with Hybrid Technologies to develop their Superlattice battery, which will appear in the highly anticipated electric vehicle submitted by Hybrid Technologies during the xPrize Competition, which is sponsored by Progressive.

Superlattice Power’s new lithium ion polymer battery is made from a more affordable cathode material. Cathode materials can be the most expensive part of lithium ion batteries. Although they are highly priced, cathode materials are found in many different crystalline structures such as spinel structure, olivine structure, and most recently a series of superlattice structures. The superlattice structure will be at the core of Hybrid’s competition entry, and is expected to increase the drive ranges of the vehicles by 30% to 200 miles.

Sony introduced the lithium ion battery back in 1990, using LiCoO2 as cathode material. This specific material is extremely expensive and unsafe, and numerous military applications refused to use the material. At an operating voltage of 4.2 to 2.75V, and during high temperatures, the LiCoO2 shows an exothermic reaction that eventually generates loose oxygen and can cause fire hazards.

The olivine structure, lithium ion phosphate, LiFePO4, is widely used. The disadvantage of this material is that it shows a low operating voltage within the range of 3.4V to 2.9V, and nominal voltage is 3.2V only. The spinel structure is manganese-based oxides, such as LiMn2O4 spinel and LiMnO2, and has been studied very closely. The material shows great potential in that it is abundant in nature, therefore less expensive, and non-toxic. However, there was a major problem in regards to the capacity due to dissolution of manganese in the form of Mn+2, and subsequent fading of power.

The superlattice structure performs the highest in nominal voltage at 3.9V, maximum capacity at 190 (Ah/Kg), operating voltage ranging from 4.4V to 2.0V, and energy density of 741 (Wh/kg). In the superlattice structure, some transition metals are substituted for lithium and this enhances the power density dramatically. Superlattice mixed-oxide synthesis becomes difficult when starting materials are not mixed homogenously. Although this will call for more studies and tests, there are innovative synthesis processes that can be taken to meet large scale production of the superlattice cathode material in the future.

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) is Focused on Bringing Superlattice Structure Batteries into the Mainstream

Superlattice Power Incorporated has been acclaimed for its breakthroughs in battery technologies. Several researchers and other companies have attempted to harness the high capacity and energy density from superlattice-structured batteries, but have always come up short and never produced their products commercially or on a large scale. However, Superlattice Power Inc. has found success in the development and marketing of the next generation lithium-powered batteries worldwide.

The superlattice structure, which is the key to the company’s success, is a hexagonal structure, allowing the batteries to accommodate more lithium and therefore more energy. Another crucial component to the success of these new batteries is the materials being used. The target material is a mixed oxide with a general formulation of Li1+xMnaCobNicTidO2 to ensure homogeneous mixing of all starting materials which are pre-calcined at high temperatures ranging from 700°C to 900°C.

Superlattice Power Inc. is now taking their products from the laboratory, where they were developed, to an industrial scale, where they can be used in commercial and military applications. These applications, especially in electric vehicles, are of a growing importance as gas and oil prices continue to rise. The increased amount of energy that can be generated from these batteries is being used to push the current limits of electric vehicles. In trials, these batteries have increased the average range of electric vehicles to over 200 miles, and could potentially play a role in the vehicle that wins the highly anticipated automotive X prize.

SuperLattice Power, Inc. (SLAT.OB) Pioneering Lithium Ion Rechargeable Batteries

SuperLattice Power, Inc. (OTCBB: SLAT) is becoming an emerging leader in the area of power production with their development of superLattice cathode material for use in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, which significantly increases operating voltage range and energy density. The company has been in the developmental stages of creating a new lithium-ion polymer battery that is made up of a new cathode material with a superlattice structure, allowing electric vehicles to be driven over 200 miles compared to the current range of 120 to 140 miles, as the battery operates in a wide voltage range of 4.3V to 2V.

The company’s newly priced cathode material, referred to as superlattice structure, is ready to be produced in large quantities. Their innovative process can be used to produce nano-phase pure superlattice structure, as well as any commercial cathode material available worldwide. The superlattice structure is a hexagonal structure and can accommodate more lithium and more energy. The transition metals were carefully selected to make Superlattice cathode materials safe, environmentally friendly and less expensive.

It is rare for newly invented materials to be tested in large-scale production, since most are only tested within laboratories for small scale production. Superlattice Power anticipates transfering all potential material in industrial levels and using them in high-degree battery production, therefore testing not only the materials but the additional properties of the battery so that they can bring potential battery materials from laboratory scale to industrial scale. They have already commenced in-house production of all superlattice structure in a higher density and found a way to optimize the process parameters suitable for large batteries, which will be used in the field of uninterruptible power supply (UPS)”.

Currently, the battery division of Superlattice Power is conducting research on a series of cathode materials with superlattice structure. The goal of this research is to model different cathode structures and optimize process parameters to obtain a single phase and pure material to fit the industrial scale. The company’s research and development team has successfully synthesized a cathode material with a superlattice oxide structure based on manganese, cobalt, nickel and titanium. During production of the first batch, 100kg of phase-pure material was produced.

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) Provides Project Timeline for Results of Joint Venture with Hybrid Technologies, Inc. (HYBR.OB)

Superlattice Power Inc. has been sharing a facility with, and working closely with, Hybrid Technologies (HYBR.OB) for quite some time now. It is a natural partnership between an electric vehicle manufacturer, Hybrid Technologies, and a developer of cutting-edge battery technologies, Superlattice Power. The timeline for the production of Superlattice Power’s products on a mass scale has been laid out by the company into a twelve-month program.

The program begins with the synthesis of the proposed cathode materials needed to create the batteries. The synthesis will be done with a number of variations in heat-treatment temperatures and cathode-material compositions. The results will be prepared and then delivered to subcontractors for characterization and performance evaluation. A non-disclosure agreement is then to be signed by all parties to protect technical information like cathode material preparation, cell assembly, anode materials, separators and all other components associated with lithium ion batteries.

The next few steps in the program are rather technical, but the end results will be the testing and evaluation of cathode materials through analytical and electrochemical techniques. The tests will also reveal ideal temperatures and heat dissipation needed for optimal power production. Once these tests are concluded, Superlattice Power plans on fabricating positive (cathode) electrodes of uniform loading, good mechanical integrity, and optimum electrolyte accessibility.

The final products will then be tested for thermal stability, cell performance and finally, safety. These tests will be conducted at varying temperatures (20 -200 degrees Celsius) at a rigorous level to see if they meet the demanding standards of the automotive industry. Once the program has been completed and evaluated jointly by both companies, Hybrid Technologies should be able to incorporate the resulting technology into their existing products to increase power and efficiency.

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) - Answering The Call For A Better Battery

Superlattice Power Inc. has been doing their best to answer the world’s need for superior battery technology. The results have been spectacular, resulting in the first major changes in the battery industry in a number of years. The structure and cathode materials being used by SLAT have been previously attempted by others, but not with the same success. In tests, the new batteries are extending the range, power and spectrum of the devices they are being used to power.

These results are arriving at a great time, as Senator John McCain, the Republican nominee for president, proposed a $300 million prize to the inventor of a better car battery. The prize money would be funded by the US government with the goal of spurring innovation to get Americans off their gasoline habit as the justification. The proposal from McCain comes after he has spent several weeks campaigning against rising energy costs and for alternative energy in the midst of our weak economy.

The demand for batteries to power the next generation of hybrid and electric vehicles continues to grow as oil prices creep closer to $150 per barrel. In addition to the proposed award today for batteries, there is also an Automotive X Prize (AXP) competition sponsored by Progressive currently open to inventors. Superlattice Power, in conjunction with Hybrid Technologies, is already favored as one of the top 10 frontrunners in the AXP competition. Although the prize is significantly smaller, $10 million, the fundamentals of the contest are the same, and could prove that Superlattice Power has what it takes to meet the new power demands of the automotive industry.

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) Develops New Synthesis Process to Assist Large-Scale Production of Lithium-Ion Batteries

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB), based in Mooresville, North Carolina, is an emerging leader in the development and marketing of lithium-powered batteries. The company is pleased to announce that it has developed a new synthesis process that will aid in the advancement of large-scale lithium-ion battery production.

Superlattice is developing anode and cathode materials that will be used in a variety of applications, such as high-power to high-energy. The technical team has developed a unique series of metallic anodes that will be used in conjunction with the company’s proprietary, high-capacity cathode material formulated in a superlattice structure.

Commercially used anodes on the market today, such as carbon-based graphite or MCMB, undergo a passive layer formation on the surface. However, the layering process limits the cycle life of the material. Both silicon and metal oxide anodes experience the same issue, where the material degrades during repeated charge and discharge cycles. The synthesis process of these materials has not advanced enough for large-scale production.

Instead of changing the layering process, Superlattice took on the challenge of utilizing more abundant, less expensive metal elements as a base material. The technical team found a way to tailor the physical properties and chemistry of the materials into a more stable anode form.

Superlattice has already been able to apply the new synthesis process into large-scale production of phase-pure cathode material. The next step will be to implement the process for large scale production of anode material.

This latest technological breakthrough moves Superlattice closer to its goal of creating an efficient and lightweight next-generation lithium-ion battery that will be used in all types of rechargeable power systems.

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) Announces Product Development Breakthrough

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB), an emerging leader in the development of next generation lithium batteries for rechargeable power systems worldwide, recently announced the successful development of innovative anodes complementary to the high capacity cathodes previously developed with the company’s proprietary namesake “super lattice” structure. This new synthesis process enables high throughput of phase pure cathode material for High Power and High Energy applications.

Superlattice Power’s newly developed anodes are superior to those currently available on the commercial market, which are typically made of silicon, metal oxide, or carbonaceous materials like graphite. These types of anodes are susceptible to passive layer formation on their reactive surfaces, which limits their functional life spans. Additionally, anodes made of these materials are not well suited for large volume industrial production.

This production achievement builds upon Superlattice Power’s portfolio of successes in the laboratory. Superlattice Power has demonstrated a unique capacity to produce nano and submicron materials on a scale large enough to be commercially viable. The hexagonal shape of Superlattice structure, much like honeybee combs in nature, are excellent storage vessels and can accommodate more energy-providing lithium. This Superlattice structure has the potential to make the next generation of lithium-powered batteries lightweight and efficient.

Superlattice Power, Inc. (OTCBB: SLAT) Conducts Project Plan to Ensure Product Quality and Developmental Safety

Superlattice Power, Inc. (OTCBB: SLAT) is engaged in developing and marketing their superlattice cathode material for use in lithium ion rechargeable batteries for residential and commercial properties. The Superlattice structure is a hexagonal structure that can accommodate more lithium and more energy. The elements and specialty transition metals have been selected precisely to make Superlattice cathode materials safe, environmentally friendly and less expensive.

Hybrid Technologies has been working closely with Superlattice Power to research and develop mass scale production of cathode superlattice nano- and submicron-sized structure for use in rechargeable lithium ion batteries. Superlattice Power has developed a project plan to ensure that cathode materials are used and developed correctly.

The initial step the company takes is the synthesis of high-capacity cathode materials. In this process, a number of variations in heat-treatment temperatures and compositions of the cathode materials will be used in conducting the synthesis. During this preliminary evaluation, samples will be prepared and delivered to subcontractors for characterization and performance evaluation. After the completion of the synthesis, the company’s next task is to characterize the developed cathode materials using analytical and electrochemical techniques. Using X-ray diffraction to evaluate such things as crystal structure and surface area, the company will also be given information related to the formation and changes of the crystal structure and minimum temperature. There will also be the scanning of electron microscopy, EDS analysis, BET surface area, and particle size distribution in order to correlate physical and chemical properties with their electrochemical performance.

Following the synthesis and characterization of developed cathode materials, the company’s next step is to fabricate positive (cathode) electrodes of uniform loading that combine good mechanical integrity with ease of electrolyte accessibility. The development of half-cells and cells using appropriate carbonaceous anode immediately follows the fabrication phase. The main objective is to develop half-cells with the cathode materials and metallic lithium anode in electrolytes. The process of fabrication and optimization is best when conducted by all parties involved in a project with proper nondisclosure legal agreements.

An evaluation of performance and assessment of technical feasibility will be conducted after the fabrication and development of half-cells is concluded. These tests include a safety test (no fire/no explosion), hot oven test (130 degrees Celsius for 2 hours), overcharge test, external short-circuit test that evaluates cell voltage, a float charge test, and a temperature ramp test. Once all the testing is completed, a final report indicating all the experimental procedures, results, critical analyses of the results and recommendation of the future work will be prepared jointly by Hybrid Technologies and participants that will maintain NDA rules.

Superlattice Power, Inc. (SLAT.OB) is Leading the Charge in Rechargeable Batteries

Superlattice Power, Inc. (SLAT) is among the many companies entering the market for rechargeable lithium batteries used to power commercial and residential properties along with new hybrid vehicles. The company’s lithium-powered technologies allow it to turn vehicles ranging from scooters to cars into zero-emissions vehicles. With fuel prices surging to new highs recently and more consumers becoming environmentally conscious, Superlattice’s products could be coming to market at just the right time.

In July, Superlattice made a major announcement regarding a move toward development of a new cathode material which will be incorporated to a Lithium Ion Polymer battery that significantly increases operating voltage range and energy density. The company’s new Lithium Ion Polymer battery consists of a new cathode material has the potential to enable electric vehicles to drive up to 200 miles without charging. The current range is 120 miles to 140 miles. Ultimately, the company hopes to develop lithium batteries that are disposable and more affordable than their current counterparts.

The North Carolina-based company said in May it would enter a vehicle in the Progressive Automotive X Prize competition that focuses on electric vehicles. Two versions of the vehicle are said to be in the works, one extended-range electric-vehicle which would offer 220 miles per gallon to go along with its 150 to 180 mile range and a fully electric version which would sell for a cheaper price.

Demand for alternative fuels and modes of transportation is only expected to increase in the coming years and Superlattice Power could be uniquely position to exploit that demand. As evidence of that demand increase, Mitsubishi Motors. Corp, the Japanese car giant, said earlier this week it will open a lithium battery factory in 2009 to meet demand.

The company has a market value of $177.1 million. Its shares, which closed to today at $1.54, have traded between 34 cents and $2.55 in the past year. Demand for lithium batteries is expected to increase fivefold over the next several years, according to industry sources.

The layered (or, latticed) material is comprised of perfectly structured sub-microscopic crystals to allow for unbelievably efficient ion diffusion. This means that a Superlattice Power battery can be charged and discharged far more rapidly than traditional devices. Surajit Sengupta, Superlattice research director, stated, “Our objective is to create the next generation lithium ion polymer battery that is environmentally non-toxic, safe, less expensive and more powerful.”

Indeed, Superlattice’s creations should serve to accelerate the integration of all-electric vehicles into our nation’s mainstream. It seems logical to assume that this technology will trickle down into other relevant areas, such as advanced power solutions for consumer electronics. It is an exciting time for Superlattice Power, Inc.

Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) is Investigating Battery Solutions to Meet Harsh Specifications Necessary in Space Flight

Superlattice Power Incorporated, a groundbreaking company in the field of lithium-powered batteries, is investigating plans to develop batteries for space flight applications. The experimental investigation into space flight applications involves a unique process for large scale production of two cathode materials for their ion-lithium batteries. The company has expanded both their production capabilities and their anode research capabilities in order to accommodate the necessary quantities.

The current cathode materials being used by Superlattice are very durable, and have a gravimetric capacity of 240 mAh/g, but in order for successful use in space flight applications, that will need to be increased to at least 280 mAh/g. Superlattice Power hopes to accomplish this through the use of their two new cathode materials, Li(LixNiyMnz)O2 and Li(LixNiaMnbCoc)O2, both of which are mainly composed of manganese. Their manganese structure makes them both environmentally friendly and less expensive compared to other batteries commonly used.

Superlattice Power plans on securing a Doctorate candidate dedicated to leading the efforts to synthesize the composite anode. If success is reached on batteries capable of meeting the specifications and harsh conditions in space, then there are many other potential applications. Once the batteries can meet the demands of extremely hot and cold temperatures, there are many other potential applications that will open doors for the company. Extreme conditions that exist for military, medical, factory or underwater applications could all be dealt with through the use of these new cathode batteries.
