RE:RE:RE:RE:2021..BATTERY INDUSTRYBernard explained.. This by-product has even much larger business potential than than silicon products.. Promising results from electrochemical performance tests made with silicon-based byproducts manufactured by HPQ-Silicon Resources Inc.'s Gen2 Purevap quartz reduction reactor (QRR) motivated the company to file a provisional patent application regarding their manufacturing, assembly and usage as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The patent application follows the completion of a series of tests made on the material produced by the Gen2 Purevap QRR at the Centre Energie Materiaux Telecommunications (EMT) of the INRS by Prof. Lionel Roue under an NSERC Engage grant and a NSERC Engage plus grant.
