Echion Technologies

This week marks a groundbreaking moment in our journey. The Echion team, in partnership with CBMM, has officially opened the first XNO® manufacturing facility in Araxá, Brazil. The plant has a production capacity of over 2,000 tons of XNO® per year - equivalent to 1 GWh of lithium-ion batteries – enabling us to meet the scale of demand of XNO® with a robust supply chain. Our XNO® anode technology delivers fast charging, high energy density, with outstanding safety and performance, even in extreme conditions. With a cycle life of over 10,000 charges, XNO® is optimised to power electrified heavy-duty, industrial, and mass-transport vehicles with maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. CEO, Jean de La Verpilliere, said: “XNO® is already having a positive impact on our cell manufacturing customers, downstream OEMs, and end-users. Echion is beginning to trade at scale, and that is a major milestone for company growth.” Read more about this unique facility here: https://lnkd.in/epXbERU7 #EchionTechnologies #XNO #BatteryInnovation #Niobium #SustainableEnergy #niobiumanodes

How do you develop a battery that suits a 200-tonne tugboat and a 220,000-tonne cargo ship? Simple – use XNO® anodes which deliver performance for every requirement. Discover more in our article below ⬇️ #BatteryTechnology #Electrification

Our Chief Commercial Officer, Benjamin Ting, will be speaking at the Battery Minerals & Mines Summit which takes place in Las Vegas, December 10th -12th. The event is co-located with the 24th Annual AABC and brings together the biggest names in battery technology with those in mining operations and electrification. Get in touch to set up a meeting with Ben to find out more about how our anode material, XNO®, delivers a high performing, differentiated battery solution. #BMMS24 #niobiumanodes #miningelectrification #AABC

⚡️ We want your opinions!

Did you know that a battery using XNO® recharges in under 12 minutes? Our niobium-based XNO® anode material features an open crystal structure which allows ions to be stored quickly and effectively. This boosts the C rating of XNO® to 5C-10C, which means it can recharge from 0 to 80% in ⚡6-12 minutes! ⚡. And with minimal heat generation. Typical Li-ion cells are only rated at 1C and can take around 60 minutes to charge. The fast-charging capability of XNO® makes it ideal for mining, marine and heavy-duty applications. With less time spent recharging, downtime is significantly reduced – helping maximise productivity whilst minimising the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). #FastCharging #BatteryTechnology
