RE:RE:RE:Update to Apollon partnership is pretty big newsGood points. PUREVAP NSiR is definitely the biggest golden goose here. However I think that PUREVAP QRR 2N-4N Si will also have quite an excellent profit margin, and any efforts to increase the market for this grade of Silicon is going to benefit HPQ down the road.

More than likely, "porous" Si will have the brightest future, & while we hold the key to nano Si, Apollon holds the key to its porosity. Sounds like this extended agreement/collaboration may lead to more than just revenue/chemical generation in 2020-21?
Indeed it will but in reality PUREVAP is the golden goose. So to increase efficienty... either via Purevap Nano Silicon Reactor or Purevap QRR Very very exciting times ahead...incredible!!
Even though using porous silicon nanopowders would double the amount of hydrogen released by the system, the high costs of making porous silicon nanopowders required Apollon to use a less efficient, but more economical and environmentally friendly chemical powder to launch its GennaoTM H2 system.
With a goal of increasing the efficiency of the system, HPQ and Apollon will explore the technical and commercial potential of creating a new generation of more efficient, economical and environmentally friendly powders for the GennaoTM system using either:
- Silicon nanopowders made by HPQ's PUREVAPTM Nano Silicon Reactor to increase the H2 generation potential of the GennaoTM H2 system by 40% (based on the mass capacity production of H2 of 14% of Silicon Nanopowders);
a. By December 2020, HPQ-NANO plans to send Apollon the first samples of silicon nanopowders manufactured by PUREVAPTM NSiR for H2 generation testing;
- Porous silicon nanopowders manufactured with the transformation of Silicon produced by HPQ's PUREVAPTMQRR process in Apollon's patented process, to increase the H2 generation potential of the GennaoTM H2 system by 100% (based on the mass capacity production of H2 of 20% of Silicon Nanopowders);
