With its Atomic Armor technology, Forge Nano will develop these thin-film coatings, enabling GM to achieve improvements in battery performance and reduce costs.
Furthermore, the company will produce lithium-ion cell prototypes at its headquarters in Thornton, Colorado, to demonstrate the capabilities of its technology.
“The primary goal of GM Ventures is to incorporate disruptive technology into the GM ecosystem to improve products and processes,” stated Anirvan Coomer, CEO of GM Ventures.
“The Atomic Armor technology from Forge Nano has innovative potential for our battery materials. They have already demonstrated their ability to enhance the performance of cathodes, which are the most expensive component of battery cells. This could provide benefits for both customers and our business,” he concluded.
