What is Group1 battery technology?

Group1 is a battery technology and engineered material company. Potassium-ion batteries (KIB) are the domestic, credible alternative to LFP-based Lithium-ion batteries (LIB). But they are bottlenecked chiefly by the lack of high-quality, engineered cathode active material.

What is Group1's new lithium-ion battery?

Group1 unveiled its new Potassium-ion battery at the USA’s annual ‘Beyond Lithium-ion Conference’, which seeks to explore the future of energy storage which goes beyond current conventional Li-ion batteries.

What does Group1 do?

Group1 aims to practically enable high-power and long-cycling Potassium-ion batteries that can meet society’s future growth needs. Group1 is he world's 1st engineered materials company focused on Potassium-ion batteries. Continuing the lineage of innovation from Nobel laureate Prof. JB Goodenough.

Who founded Group1?

Group1 was co-founded in 2021 by battery tech veterans, including Leigang Xue who currently serves as Chief Product Officer but previously worked in the lab of 2019 Nobel Laureate and battery pioneer Dr. John Goodenough at University of Texas at Austin – who co-invented the Li-ion battery.

What is Group1 technology?

Developed in the legendary lab of 2019 Chemistry Nobel laureate Professor JB Goodenough (co-inventor of the LiB), Group1's game-changing technology is the most practical beyond-lithium solution.

What is Group1 & KiB?

Group1 enables (1) a domestic supply chain, (2) compatibility with commercially available graphite anodes, and (3) is “drop-in” — seamlessly integrated into existing LiB manufacturing infrastructure and LiB cell design. KiBs are THE beyond-lithium solution that provides the best combination of safety, sustainability, and performance.
