NEO BATTERY MATERIALS FORGES COLLABORATION AGREEMENT WITH MAJOR SOUTH KOREAN CHEMICAL MATERIAL COMPANY, INNOX ECO-M
Neo Battery Materials Ltd. has signed a collaboration agreement with Innox eco-M, a company renowned for its innovative silicon recycling process and a subsidiary of a leading Korean chemical materials company, Innox Holding Corp.
Under this collaboration, Neo Battery Materials will jointly develop silicon anode products by integrating Innox eco-M's high-purity recycled silicon and silicon-oxide powders as the raw material. Main collaboration priorities will include:
-
Enhancing electrochemical performance, including increased capacity and efficiencies;
- Reducing overall manufacturing costs with low-cost precursors; and
- Commercializing a sustainable, ESG (environmental, social and governance)-friendly anode product.
The collaboration is also expected to contribute toward a more circular economy with improved supply chain resiliency. With most silicon sources manufactured in China, Innox eco-M will help Neo Battery Materials diversify its supply chain dependency and secure a long-term, low-cost supply of silicon inputs.
Innox eco-M supplies various manufacturing companies in the battery and chemical materials industry. It operates three facilities in South Korea and China, and plans to expand its silicon-oxide powder manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam. Innox eco-M mainly recycles waste slurry created from semiconductor and solar wafer cutting and flattening processes.
Spencer Huh, president and chief executive officer of Neo, commented: "We are excited to join forces with Innox eco-M in this strategic collaboration. This partnership marks a significant business development milestone and is well-aligned with the high-level pillared strategy of establishing commercial collaborations with horizontal partners in the battery supply chain. We aim to create synergies to drive significant technical and sustainable innovations."
