Pure Lithium’s pouch cells, utilizing Pure Lithium’s lithium metal anode made from inexpensive lithium brine coupled with a proprietary electrolyte invented at Pure Lithium, have now achieved over 2,200 cycles at a rate of 1 hour charge and 1 hour discharge, while retaining upwards of 80% capacity. The cycles are at 100% depth of discharge (DOD) as opposed to “full cycle equivalents” or “projected cycles” as reported by competitors. The cells are still cycling.

Founder, Chairman and CEO Emilie Bodoin comments: “I am thrilled to announce these transformational cycling results which competitors have not come close to achieving. Lithium metal batteries are the holy grail of energy storage, having twice the capacity and half the weight of today’s lithium-ion battery. These results exceed the commercial specifications and deliver longer duration for any application currently met by lithium-ion batteries.

Pure Lithium’s value proposition of combining metal extraction from North American lithium sources with anode manufacturing improves the performance of the battery and makes production of the lithium metal battery economically viable for the first time. Additionally, with no requirement for graphite, nickel, cobalt or manganese, our entire battery can be produced in North America using locally sourced materials enabling energy security and independence from China for the first time ever. We will scale this technology using the proceeds from our Series B raise.”

About Pure Lithium

Pure Lithium is a disruptive Boston-based lithium metal battery technology company led by inventor and lithium expert, CEO Emilie Bodoin, and world-renowned battery and metallurgical expert, MIT Emeritus Professor Donald R. Sadoway, as full-time CSO. The Company's novel Brine to Battery™ technology combines metal extraction and anode production, unlocking unconventional sources of lithium. The resulting pure lithium metal anode is the core component of our lithium metal vanadium oxide battery, a step-change improvement over today’s lithium-ion technology in cell performance, cost, and safety. Additionally, the battery is free of graphite, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. For more information, visit www.purelithium.io or email news@purelithium.io.
