Dragonfly Energy granted U.S. patent by USPTO for lithium battery

Dragonfly Energy is to be awarded a new US patent based on allowed US Patent Application No. 16/329/914 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, USPTO. The patent is for the “preparation and powder film deposition of pre-coated powders” and specifically addresses the feedstock material portion of the process in the production of conventional Li-ion ion batteries and nonflammable solid-state lithium batteries, paving the way for Dragonfly Energy to bring nonflammable LiFePO4 storage batteries to market. The Company believes this allowance represents another important achievement and a major step forward in the Company’s mission to produce nonflammable lithium batteries here in the U.S. Solvent-free cell production is known to have a significant cost advantage over traditional slurry coating, and the Company has successfully applied the process to a variety of different battery chemistries.
