Volt Carbon Technologies and Charge CCCV

LLC Sign MOU to Advance Next-Generation

Battery Innovation

Calgary, Alberta and Binghamton, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 24, 2025) - Volt Carbon

Technologies Inc. (TSXV: VCT) (OTCQB: TORVF) (BERLIN: WNF) ("VCT", "Volt" or "Volt Carbon") and

Charge CCCV LLC ("C4V") are pleased to enter the next phase of collaboration in developing high-

energy lithium batteries and sustainable anode materials. This agreement signed on March 13th, 2025,

builds on the strong foundation of collaboration between the two companies, leveraging previous results

of joint research and technology development in next-generation battery materials.

Volt Carbon and C4V have previously worked together on multiple initiatives focused on improving

battery energy density and sustainability. Through this latest agreement, the companies will expand their

efforts with the goal to commercialize breakthrough technologies for electric vehicles, aerospace, and

grid storage applications.

Key Areas of Collaboration

1)

High-Energy Lithium Battery Development:

Cutting Edge Chemistry:

Combining C4V's second generation high voltage Bio-Mineralized

Lithium Mixed Metals Phosphate (BMLMP)cathode with Volt Carbon's proprietary electrolyte to

develop anode-free and lithium metal batteries with increased energy density.

Performance Targets:

Multilayer pouch cell prototypes will be tested with an aim to retain over

80% capacity after 1,000 cycles, demonstrating long-term reliability.

Industrial-Scale Feasibility:

Transitioning from small-scale coin cells to large-format pouch cells

at Volt Carbon's Guelph, Ontario battery facility and C4V's commercialization facility, with a plan to

validate gigafactory production readiness.

Supply Chain Readiness:

C4V has been qualifying anode-free and lithium metal supply chains

for minimum 1 GWh production volumes, while Volt Carbon continues to work on scaling its

proprietary electrolyte production.

2)

Sustainable Anode Materials:

Green Graphite Innovation:

Volt Carbon's dry-separated graphite will be integrated with C4V's

Green Anode technology with the intention to create sustainable, high-performance anode

materials.

Verified Performance Metrics:

Specific discharge capacity: 362 mAh/g under 0.01V-1.50V at a 0.1C rate.

First-cycle efficiency (FCE): 92.5% or higher.

Tap density exceeding 1 g/cc, electrode density over 1.6 g/cc.

Environmental Breakthrough:

Eliminating water and chemicals from the graphite purification

process, with the goal of making anode production more cost-effective and eco-friendly.

Commercialization Potential:

Volt Carbon's graphite will undergo technology qualification for

potential supply to C4V's joint venture gigafactory projects.

Strategic Impact

This collaboration is a significant milestone in the shared goal to make next-generation batteries

cleaner, more efficient, and ready for large-scale adoption. By integrating Volt Carbon's low-carbon-

footprint graphite processing with C4V's battery cell manufacturing, both companies are positioned to

redefine sustainability in energy storage.

"This partnership represents a bold step toward the goal of bringing sustainable, high-performance

battery technologies to market," said V-Bond Lee, CEO of Volt Carbon Technologies. "Our work with

C4V strengthens the path to commercialization while driving innovations that reduce environmental

impact and improve energy storage performance."

Clifford Olin

, CBO of C4V, "Our Volt Carbon collaboration continues to produce highly impactful and

encouraging results creating a "win scenario" for all stakeholders while driving cost effective and

sustainable energy storage solutions that benefit all industry participants."
