Magic coating of silicon...lol

Ok lets see where this company ends up. I have been watching all the reporting on using silicon in the anodes of lithium batteries. Ok the problem is, in order to use silicon in anodes the silicon needs to be in the nano size range and perfectly uniform is structure. This means all the nano particles need to be the same size. Silica and silicon are not the same. Silica needs to be transformed into silicon metal 2n for anodes. This process is very energy intensive and current ways of making nano silicon uses hazardous chemicals. Plus Nano silicon is very expensive and to date can not be be made cheap enough to be used commercially. Having a Quartz deposit that contains silica dosen't mean you can produce Silicon metal, PERIOD. The coating of Silicon nano powders to control the expansion (which is why you need nano silicon in the first place) is the easy part. Like dipping an icecream cone in chocolate. There is a company that is on the cutting edge of this technology. They can turn low grade Quartz into 2n-4n Silicon metal in one step. Then take the silicon metal they just made and turn it into Silicon Nano powders in one step. Oh and they can also coat the silicon nano powders if requested by the manufacturer of the battery. Oh and they can custom size the nano powders to the battery manufactures specifications.
So my question is where is NEO going to get there Nano silicon? Really magic coating...laughable. There website is long on pump but very low on scientific data on the process. IF you want to invest in a real company going to revolutionize the EV battery market do some more DD. I let you find out who this comany is....Good luck with your investment here. Hope you don't get shorted into oblivion....They are five year behind....Beachbum

What a bunch a dopes all those companies in the lithium battery industry and the automotive industry are who signed NDA's with NBM so they could look at their technology.  All those companies could have talked to a silicon anode guru such as yourself.  Maybe you should give them a call and set them straight.
