NEO Battery Materials, a silicon anode materials developer, announced that it is collaborating with Linde Korea Co. to scale up NEO’s silicon anode manufacturing for lithium-ion batteries. The aim is to produce longer-running, rapid-charging lithium-ion batteries.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Linde, NEO, and NBM Korea Co. will collaborate to incorporate and optimize Linde’s industrial gases — specifically, nitrogen and argon — as critical inert gases in NEO’s silicon anode manufacturing process. These gases have a significant role in ensuring the quality of NEO’s production environment, minimizing input oxidation risks, and enabling quality control of the anode’s performance.
Linde and NEO’s strategic collaboration is structured to support the technical transition from the current pilot-scale to commercial-scale production. NEO and NBMK will work closely with Linde to define technical requirements and implement leading engineering solutions tailored to NEO’s silicon anode manufacturing process.
The commitment to adopting Linde’s advanced industrial gas technology will enhance the energy efficiency and performance of NEO’s silicon anode products.
