Clean, renewable energy sources, like wind and solar, are an essential part of creating a sustainable society. These sources require storage solutions such as lithium-ion batteries, often used in the automotive and consumer electronics industries. Relying on high performance batteries, which enable long lasting energy storage, has become increasingly important in sustainable development.

Nano One, a Canadian technology company based in Burnaby, British Columbia, seized the opportunity to gain a foothold in the battery space by developing new processes to make cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries.
