Enabling a Sustainable & Electrified Future.

Cobalt-Free.

Our patented family of Cobalt-Free NMA cathodes deliver up to 20% higher energy density over commercial NCA/NMC cathodes and can replace them “powder for powder” in any battery form factor and system.

Combining superior NMA cathodes with advanced anodes and electrolytes will allow TexPower to develop and produce Ultra-High Energy Cell Systems. Reliable, Safe and Cost-Efficient such Cell Systems will be mostly appreciated by customers in EV, Electrified Aircraft Propulsion and Special Applications markets.

Securing supply chains and cooperation with domestic material producers and technology providers will position TexPower among the leaders of US automotive electrification efforts and will contribute to America’s transition to a carbon-neutral economy.

CONTINUING A LEGACY OF BATTERY INNOVATION

1970s

First prototypes of rechargeable Li batteries with TiS made in UK.

1980s

Prof. John B. Goodenough from University of Oxford, UK invents modern Li-Ion battery with Transition Metal Oxides (Co, Ni). Patent US 4,357,215.

1986

Prof. Goodenough leaves University of Oxford, UK and joins University of Texas at Austin, USA. Together with Prof. Arumugam Manthiram they created an advanced lab to study battery materials.

1988

Prof. Manthiram and Prof. Goodenough first identified the polyanion class of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. One of them, Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP), which uses abundant materials, became a dominant battery for low-cost EV. and Energy Storage.

1999

UT Austin patented LFP battery. Patent US 5910382A.

2014

New class of Cobalt Free cathodes (NiMnAl or NMA) was invented at UT Austin by Prof. Manthiram and his group.

2019

Prof. Manthiram together with Dr. Erickson and Dr. Li founded TexPower Inc. to commercialize NMA cathode. UT Austin filed Provisional Patent Applications at USPTO.

2019

Nobel Prize in Chemistry for “For the Development of Li-Ion Batteries” was awarded to John B Goodenough of the University of Texas at Austin, M Stanley Whittingham of Binghamton University and Akira Yoshino of Meijo University.

2021

USPTO awarded Cobalt-Free cathode patent to UT Austin. U.S. Patent 11,233,239. TexPower secured exclusive license from the University.
