SAMSUNG SDI Obtains a License from CAMX for its GEMX(TM) Advanced Battery Cathode Material Platform
LEXINGTON, Massachusetts, June 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

CAMX Power LLC (CAMX) of Lexington, Massachusetts (www.camxpower.com)  
announces that SAMSUNG SDI has obtained a non-exclusive license under the 
intellectual property of CAMX relating to the GEMX platform and its offers as 
gLNO(TM), gNMC(TM) and gNCA(TM), all nickel based high energy high power 
cathode materials for use in lithium ion batteries, for portable as well as 
electric vehicle applications.

The GEMX platform is based on a fundamental invention of CAMX for which patents 
have been granted in the US, EU, Japan, Korea and China. This invention creates 
a broad class of cathode active materials.  The platform is being offered as 
three products, gLNO, gNMC and gNCA overarching the high nickel classes of NMC, 
NCA and LNO, the chemistries currently used and expected to be used in the next 
ten years or more especially in lithium ion batteries for EVs. The GEMX 
invention, through molecular engineering, places cobalt at the critical places 
in the cathode particles resulting in use of less cobalt, yet with greater 
stability, higher performance and lower cost for all classes of high nickel 
materials.  

These patents have remaining lives beyond 2030.  

"As one of the foremost lithium ion cell and material companies in the world, 
SAMSUNG SDI is expected to very quickly and efficiently take the technology to 
very successful implementations" said Dr. Kenan Sahin, Founder and President of 
CAMX, who added, "Instead of attempting production ourselves, by working with 
eminent and well established companies like SAMSUNG SDI, we as CAMX can see our 
inventions rapidly and more broadly come to market for the benefit of society 
especially in the environmentally beneficial, non-polluting, connected and 
self-aware electric vehicles poised to dominate transportation and become a 
multi-trillion dollar industry in itself."

Previous licensees of GEMX include Johnson Matthey and of CAMX's earlier 
cathode platform CAM-7, BASF and Johnson Matthey.
