Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (Altairnano) of Reno, Nevada, has invented and developed a nano-structured negative electrode material called nano Lithium Titanium Oxide (nLTO) that replaces the graphite used in “standard” Li-ion batteries with safe nanomaterials.
Altairnano performed “hot box” exercises on its batteries at temperatures up to 240°C – more than 100°C above the temperature where graphite-based [...]
