We are thrilled to announce this joint patent filing with Dr. Whittingham, who first invented the lithium metal battery in 1977. His work inspired our battery development. He is a prolific scientist whose groundbreaking research paved the way for today’s lithium-ion batteries. We are honored to have paired Dr. Whittingham’s cathode composed of vanadium oxide with Pure Lithium’s lithium metal anode technology to produce an economically viable, sustainable, next-generation lithium metal battery that can be manufactured via supply chains confined to North America,” said Emilie Bodoin, Founder and CEO of Pure Lithium.
