A123Systems Announces Patent Issuance for Nanophosphate Lithium-Ion Battery Technology
4 March 2008
A123Systems, developer and producer of Nanophosphate lithium-ion batteries, has been granted US patent 7,338,734 entitled “Conductive Lithium Storage Electrode”. This patent protects A123’s unique Nanophosphate battery technology, which offers an advanced combination of power, safety and life.
A123Systems has filed more than 160 US and international patents and has raised $148 million to develop the Nanophosphate technology since its discovery at MIT. To commercialize the technology and develop new products, the company has grown to more than 850 employees globally, with facilities in Massachusetts, Michigan, Canada, China, and Korea.
This key patent recognizes the seminal work at MIT that was the foundation of A123. Our current team of 191 engineers and 58 scientists will continue to innovate and push the boundaries of energy storage technology strengthening our position in the industry.
