Led by CEO Mark Gresser, Wildcat Discovery Technologies provides a service that accelerates the discovery of new materials for energy applications, with a focus on the development of advanced materials for rechargeable and primary batteries. Its team of scientists uses proprietary high-throughput tools to develop and optimize breakthrough materials, with corporate partners throughout the global battery and materials supply chains. Wildcat is developing multiple innovative technologies, all key to formulating a breakthrough EV “super cell”. The EV “super cell” is envisioned as a transformational battery cell combining three Wildcat proprietary technologies currently in development, including a cobalt and nickel free high energy cathode, a composite solid-state electrolyte and a lithium metal anode.This battery cell targets a >90 percent improvement in energy density over today’s best batteries, which could further accelerate the widespread adoption of EVs. Additionally, the innovative components are all being developed with conflict-free materials — reducing the supply chain’s dependence on both nickel and cobalt.Wildcat has also entered a development agreement with Kodak to develop and scale substrate coating technologies, critical for the safety and reliability of the next generation of EV battery technology.13/07/2022
