LG Energy Solution Obtains License from CAMX Power for its GEMX(R) Advanced Cathode Material Platform for Lithium-ion Batteries
LEXINGTON, Mass., Mar. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

LG Energy Solution Ltd. (LGES; KRX: 373220) and CAMX Power LLC (CAMX) announce 
that LGES has obtained a license under the intellectual property of CAMX 
relating to the GEMX(R) platform of nickel based high energy high power cathode 
materials for use in lithium-ion batteries especially for electric vehicles 
(EVs).

The GEMX platform is based on fundamental inventions of CAMX for which key 
patents have been granted globally including the US, EU, Korea, Japan and 
China. The GEMX inventions, through molecular engineering, place Cobalt, 
Aluminum, etc. at the critical places of the cathode particles resulting in the 
use of less Cobalt, yet with greater stability, higher performance and lower 
cost for all classes of high nickel materials. GEMX enables a broad class of 
cathode materials, by enhancing the high nickel chemistries NMC, NCA, NMCA, and 
LNO currently used, and expected to be used in the next ten years or more, in 
lithium-ion batteries for EVs. Its derivative products have been branded as 
gNMC(TM), gNMCA(TM), gNCA(TM), and gLNO(TM).

"LG Energy Solution, recently spun out of LG Chem is one of the key, if not the 
key, supplier of lithium-ion batteries globally. CAMX is privileged that LGES, 
as this now independent premier and transformational supplier of cells and 
batteries, has added the GEMX platform, and in particular the gNMCA derivate, 
to its choices of cathode materials for use in their offers especially for 
EVs," said Dr. Sahin, Founder/President of CAMX, concluding "Instead of 
attempting production ourselves, by working with eminent and established 
companies like LGES, CAMX can see its inventions rapidly and  more broadly come 
to market for the benefit of society especially in the environmentally 
beneficial connected and self-aware EVs poised to dominate transportation and 
become a multi-trillion dollar industry in itself. Unquestionably LGES as one 
of the key transformational companies in this space, by combining GEMX with its 
other cathode choices, will help make EVs better, more affordable, and have 
much longer range for the greater benefit of consumers and the environment."

About CAMX Power
CAMX Power LLC, headquartered near Boston, Massachusetts, is one of the largest 
independent lithium-ion battery material and design entities in the U.S.

We mature early stage technologies to be de- risked, IP-protected and scaled-up 
or scale up ready; then license them, with deep technology transfer, to large 
manufacturing partners for them to extend, make, have made and sell, achieving 
greater, quicker impact for the betterment of society and environment.

GEMX and its prior offer, CAM-7(R) are the culmination of two decades of 
development with nearly $200 million of investment. CAM-7 was licensed by BASF 
in 2016. In 2020, GEMX was licensed by Samsung now practicing it widely. GEMX 
as a platform improves all Nickel based cathodes thus significantly enhancing 
emobility(TM) and eportability(TM) energy storage offers by the major cell and 
material makers.

CAMX operates lithium-ion battery material synthesis facility, a 
development-purposed cathode production pilot plant, and design-purposed 
advanced cell making facilities.

About Dr. Kenan E. Sahin
Dr. Kenan E. Sahin, Founder/President of CAMX, is the founder/chairman of TIAX 
LLC as well, from which he spun off CAMX in 2014. Previously he had founded 
Kenan Systems, grew it to 1,000 staff in six countries with its key offer 
Arbor/BP as a telecommunications billing platform. In 1999, he sold Kenan 
Systems to Lucent/Bell Labs, served as a VP of Technology at Bell Labs and 
returned to Boston in 2001 to found TIAX.  Lucent renamed Arbor/BP as Kenan/BP 
which eventually was sold, and that platform (originally based on AI and Big 
Data) now processes over one billion telecommunication subscribers globally, by 
far the largest of its kind.  

Dr. Sahin founded and grew all three companies with his own funds, Kenan 
Systems having been founded with $1,000. He serves only on non-profit Boards 
including the MIT Board as life member emeritus, and previously on the Board of 
Argonne National Laboratories. He continues to serve on numerous non-profit 
Boards such as the Boston Symphony Orchestra. His technology inventions, 
patents and contributions cover a broad range.  Previously he was an academic 
at MIT, Harvard and University of Massachusetts in Amherst. He is the recipient 
of numerous awards including the congressionally recognized Ellis Island Medal.
