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."
