Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) is Helping Overcome the “Battery Bottleneck” That is Holding EV Production Back

Is there a sector investors love more than electric vehicles right now?

With major countries like China, Canada, the US, and the Eurozone making significant moves toward phasing out fossil-fuel vehicles within the next two decades,123 investors have been looking closely at almost any electric vehicle-related name.

This has been amplified by the “SPAC boom”, which has resulted in valuations like…

$24 billion for Lucid Motors,4 $5.4 billion for Arrival,5 almost $20 billion for battery maker QuantumScape,6 and $3.1 billion for electric vehicle components maker REE Automotive7 – even though most have yet to produce a single product.

The established automakers have also taken notice, investing hundreds of billions in producing their own electric vehicles.

But here’s the problem…

All These Companies Are Playing in an Increasingly Crowded and Competitive “Red Ocean” Market

The Wall Street Journal puts it succinctly14…

Consider that China’s electric vehicle market has over 400 competitors15…

And many established global automakers are themselves heavily involved in electric vehicle battery development.16

Undoubtedly, all this competition is great for the consumer – but not necessarily for the investors.

That’s why we’re so excited about Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF), a company that is revolutionizing the way electric vehicle battery materials are made.

Because instead of simply being another “me too” electric vehicle company looking to dethrone Tesla or challenge battery makers with decades of industry experience…

Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) is Taking a Different Road and Approaching the Industry Like No Other Company Has Ever Done Before

The company has created – and patented – a revolutionary process that allows the materials found in electric vehicle batteries to be produced cheaper, faster, longer lasting, and GREENER!

This means more durable batteries, produced quicker, at higher profit margins.

The best part? Its business model.

Unlike other companies, which are looking to produce the batteries themselves, Nano One Materials’ main focus is on licensing its patented technology or joint venturing with strategic partners.

This means any battery or electric vehicle producer could benefit by using the company’s breakthrough process to get a competitive edge…

Allowing Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) to potentially achieve massive scale while still keeping its costs low.

(Yet at the same time, the company remains nimble enough to shift or expand into other business models, such as joint ventures.)

The “Battery Bottleneck” is Holding the Electric Vehicle Supply Chain Back

Switching from the internal combustion engine to an electric motor isn’t as easy as plugging it in and driving away…

Manufacturing electric vehicle batteries needs raw metals, namely lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, iron, and phosphorus to name a few.

And the supply of these metals have not kept up with the demand, sending prices spiralling upward. As automakers stepped up their electric vehicle plans, metal prices hit a 52-week high near the end of February 2021.17

This is important, because electric vehicle batteries account for as much as 30% of the total vehicle cost18…

Supply crunches have already previously caused automakers like Audi, Jaguar, and Mercedes to slow down production.19

Expanding metals mining is the most obvious way of fighting this supply constraint – but it is also the most resource-intensive and time consuming…

It’s also not the most profitable way to get in on the EV market…

Real Money’s Jim Collins points out that the best way to capitalize on the EV battery market isn’t with the materials themselves, but in companies with technologies that make EVs, their batteries, and their use of base materials more efficient. Among the top picks in that category is Nano One.

“…But the intriguing thing about Nano is that it offers technology instead of the materials themselves,” Collins writes. “…Instead of a huge open pit in New Brunswick, Nano has a bunch of really, really, really smart engineers working in Burnaby, British Columbia.”

McKinsey pinpoints 2025 as the year that supply challenges will begin to pose a real threat to electric vehicle adoption20…

And as automakers scramble to find scalable solutions before shortages hit their bottom line while maintaining a positive ESG mandate…

Investors are waking up to the fact that batteries are the largest constraint to mass electric vehicle adoption, which is why…

We Are in the Middle of a “Battery Boom”

Promising battery companies and the like are seeing multi-billion dollar valuations. And these companies are all going to need to get their battery materials from somewhere (or will need an updated tech process), which is where Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) steps in.

It’s not just the public markets. Battery tech company Sila Nanotechnologies recently raised $590 million in private funding, pushing its implied valuation to $3.3 billion.22

And Swedish battery developer NorthVolt raised $600 million in equity in 2020, giving it a $2 billion valuation.23

But again, these are mostly battery manufacturers who must compete with each other…

Whereas Nano One Materials has the option to license its patented technology to nearly anyone in the industry or partner in strategic joint ventures.

7 Reasons Why Nano One Materials Corp.'s (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) Battery Material Tech Could Dominate the Batteries Market

  1. Improves Charge Life of Lithium-Ion Batteries: The company’s patented “One-Pot” process results in individually coated single cathode crystals. Coatings protect each individual grain of cathode powder from side reactions as the battery is charged and discharged, improving the durability of the battery.
  2. Saves Time and Costs in Production Process: Eliminates the need for energy intensive conversion of feedstocks that would result in waste streams and extra cathode production steps, meaning the process is faster and cheaper with a fraction of the carbon footprint – resulting in higher margins for manufacturers.
  3. Applicable to Every Type of Lithium-Ion Battery: There are a number of different lithium-ion battery chemistries, each serving different needs, but that doesn’t matter to Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF), because its patented process can be used for every type.
  4. Easily Scalable: Because of its licensing model, Nano One Materials Corp.’s (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) can easily roll out its patented technology to many automakers and battery material manufacturers while still maintaining a low cost base. It already has several major joint development partnerships in place, with more on the way.
  5. Protected by a Fortress of Patents: With 16 currently approved patents and over 30 pending, the company’s technology is protected in multiple jurisdictions, patenting the process, the materials, and the products made with the process and materials.
  6. Helps Overcome the “Battery Bottleneck”: For electric vehicles to truly reach mass adoption, we must overcome the constrained battery supply chain. Making the battery materials production process more efficient is vital in this effort while remaining a good global corporate citizen and maintaining ESG mandates.
  7. Aligned with Sustainability Objectives: The company’s process also reduces the amount of waste products generated. Tighter ESG mandates are being passed by governments, and Nano One can help companies fit under these new laws. Since electric vehicle adoption is being driven by their sustainability benefits, this would further align the industry with Nano’s core objectives.

It’s All Thanks to Nano One Materials Corp.'s (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) Patented “One-Pot” Process

To understand why Nano One Materials’ technology could be a gamechanger, you must first understand the battery materials production process…

Specifically, how cathodes – which account for about 20% to 40% of the cost of the entire battery cell – are made.

First, the mined raw metals are converted into sulfate form using an energy and carbon intensive process that magnifies the weight by 5 times, before being transported to the cathode producer.

Then, the producer uses an aggressive chemical reaction to combine various metal sulfates into a composite powder, with the previous sulfate (plus water) discarded as waste.

After that, lithium hydroxide – converted from lithium carbonate – is added and milled into a mixed powder.

Everything is then cooked in a furnace, sometimes for days, with grinding, milling and re-firing until a fine powder is reached. Finally, a protective coating is applied and baked on in a final firing step.

Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) patented “One-Pot” process simplifies and consolidates the entire thing.

Nano One’s M2CAM process lowers GHG emissions and costs by allowing cathode materials to be made directly from metal feedstocks (M2CAM). This eliminates the conversion of base metals into sulfates – reducing cost, energy, shipping weight, and environmentally problematic waste streams.

Also, lithium carbonate can be used directly without needing to convert it into hydroxide.

And not only can the crystal coating process be done simultaneously with all these, but the result is individually-coated grains of cathode powder (coated single crystal or monocrystalline). Unlike competitive coatings on clustered grains of cathode powder (polycrystalline), Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) coated single crystals add durability because they are protected from side reactions, even when clusters break apart from the stresses of repeated charging.

The increased margins manufacturers can enjoy are more than worth the royalty fee that Nano One will collect.

The worldwide cathode market is already at $17.4 billion and is projected to grow by 6.3% a year to reach $28.3 billion by 2027.24 5% of that in royalty revenues amounts to an addressable licensing market of $1.4 billion, with even larger revenue opportunities in joint ventures.

And because of the company’s proven technology and business model…

Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) Has the Flexibility to Capitalize on Multiple Supply Chain Opportunities

Its technology has the ability to add value across the entire battery supply chain, whether through licensing, joint ventures, or mergers and acquisitions.

The company already has major partnerships in place, including Volkswagen, Pulead (a major Chinese cathode producer), and 400-year old ceramics and glass producer Saint-Gobain. 

It also has two more “secret partnerships” – an American OEM that is a large global auto producer and a multi-billion Asian cathode producer.

In fact, Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF)
Joint Development Agreement (JDA) with the multi-billion-dollar Asian cathode producer is progressing quite well.

The first two phases of the JDA, which have now been successfully completed, were focused on LNMO (lithium nickel manganese oxide) cathode materials and have met both performance metrics and initial economic targets. Next, the two parties will be working towards scaling up, detailing an economic analysis, third-party evaluation, and making preliminary plans for commercialization.

LNMO is of increasing global interest as it delivers energy and power on par with other high-performance cathodes and is more cost effective because it is cobalt free. Its unique three dimensional structure allows faster charging and operates at a 25% increase in voltage, enabling fewer cells. VW referred to it on their Power Day as a critical battery chemistry, showing OEM interest in the material in the future.25

Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) has at least 2 different ways to monetize its technology, both of which could be lucrative. First, the licencing model via a royalty structure, which shows a high margin revenue flow per line, and if you speculate even a modest 10% capture of the market by 2025, you can see that it would generate over $100 million a year with little costs. Second, the joint venture structure where cash flow would be higher, as would capital investment. Although margins would be lower based on revenue flow, the net cash flow to Nano One  would be greater per line, so the bottom line would generate more money for the company.

Either way, by 2025+, that would be a market worth over $20 billion, potentially giving the company hundreds of millions in revenues with relatively low costs.

The best part? Thanks to $25 million in recent equity raises, plus $13 million in non-dilutive grants awarded, a newly announced $25 million bought deal offering,26 and still $5 million to be drawn down from the Canadian government, the company ALREADY has enough cash to sustain itself until at least 2024.

Nano One Materials Corp.'s (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) Exciting Short- and Long-Term Catalysts

In the immediate term, the company is expanding its pilot and laboratory facilities, tripling its size from 4,800 square feet to over 15,000 square feet to support its growing list of strategic relationships. These are critical steps to put into place towards its commercialization process.

The company is focused on strategically critical cathode materials, such as nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) for long range EV battery applications, cobalt-free high-voltage spinel (HVS, LNMO) for solid state lithium-ion battery applications27 – the most important next generation battery in development – and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) for mass market and heavy duty EV applications.

And Nano One Materials Corp. (TSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMFTSXV:NANO, OTC:NNOMF) will continually scale up its client base – all while maintaining the ethos of continuous innovation that has brought the company to where it is today.

2021 Could Be the Inflection Point for Electric Vehicles

At the CES 2021 conference, GM CEO Mary Barra boldly stated that the automotive industry has reached an inflection point in zero-emissions transportation.28

Online car shopping site Edmunds predicts 2021 will be a “pivotal year” for electric vehicles,29 with 30 electric vehicle models from 21 brands entering the market.

And Automotive World points to the convergence of “public policy, capital markets, industry investment, and consumer demand” as making 2021 the tipping point for electric vehicle adoption.30

As we’ve seen, industry players and investors are throwing huge money at this space…

IHS Markit forecasts a 70% increase in global electric vehicle sales for the year31…

And the new Biden administration will give the sustainable investing trend – already estimated to account for a third of all US assets under management32 – a further boost.
