Nexeon Acquires Key Patent Sets
Move Strengthens Nexeon's Position in Battery Materials
Nexeon - the company developing silicon materials for next generation lithium ion batteries - has acquired three important sets of patents relating to the use of silicon in lithium ion battery anodes. This move increases the strength of the intellectual property (IP) the company holds in the field of silicon for use in battery anodes.
The patents, numbering 24 in all, concern the manufacture and use of nano scale silicon particles, alone or combined with graphite, and also cover methods of coating carbon particles with silicon using vapour deposition.
The granted patents have global coverage and were previously owned by Litarion GmbH, being acquired following that company's insolvency.
"Acquisition of these key patents strengthens Nexeon's position as a consolidator of IP in this space, and provides our customers with access to a wider range of opportunities and potential applications", said Dr Chris Friend, IP Director at Nexeon.

HPS EnduraCoilTM Cast Resin Medium Voltage Transformer
HPS EnduraCoil is a high-performance cast resin transformer designed for many demanding and diverse applications while minimizing both installation and maintenance costs. Coils are formed with mineral-filled epoxy, reinforced with fiberglass and cast to provide complete void-free resin impregnation throughout the entire insulation system. HPS EnduraCoil complies with the new NRCan 2019 and DOE 2016 efficiency regulations and is approved by both UL and CSA standards. It is also seismic qualified per IBC 2012/ASCE 7-10/CBC 2013. Cast resin transformers are self-extinguishing in the unlikely event of fire, environmentally friendly and offer greater resistance to short circuits. HPS also offers wide range of accessories for transformer protection and monitoring requirements.
