Pure Lithium and E3 Lithium Report Results From Phase 1 of the Lithium Metal Battery Joint Development Agreement
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pure Lithium Corporation, a disruptive vertically integrated lithium metal battery technology company, is pleased to announce initial results from the battery cells manufactured under the Joint Development Agreement with E3 Lithium, using E3 Lithium's brines and DLE technology and Pure Lithium's innovative extraction and battery technology.
Several variations of E3's lithium chloride concentrate were used to make lithium metal anodes at Pure Lithium's Boston facility. The lithium from the E3 concentrated lithium chloride was electrodeposited as pure lithium metal onto a copper substrate, creating a complete, battery ready anode. These anodes were then assembled by Pure Lithium into batteries, and their electrochemical performance was evaluated in full cells. Notable results include:
Lithium Metal Purity: The various E3 brine streams all achieved a very high purity level, > 99.9% pure lithium metal as tested by ICP-OES analysis.
Cell Performance (Life Cycle): This tests for the number of charge and discharge cycles the battery achieves while retaining 80% of its capacity. All cells achieved over 500 cycles to date.
Charge and Discharge Rates: This tests for the duration of a charge and discharge. These tests were conducted at a 1C:1D ratio, one hour charge time and one hour discharge time.
The results of this study concluded that an easily producible version of E3's lithium concentrate provided the most cost-effective feedstock for use in Pure Lithium's batteries. It also demonstrated the robustness of Pure Lithium's process, showing no performance differences between batteries made using lithium chloride from E3's Leduc Brines, and those made from Pure Lithium's standard sources. The two companies continue to collaborate on the development and planning of an integrated process that can deliver the highest purity lithium metal anodes at the lowest possible cost.
'I am delighted to reinvent the lithium supply chain with E3 Lithium. We not only produced pure lithium metal anodes from unconventional sources of lithium using a newly invented technology but also validated their performance by cycling them in over 100 batteries. Rigorous electrochemical testing of battery materials is imperative, and to get such great results consistently, using a technology that was specifically developed to be cost effective, is truly exciting,' said Emilie Bodoin, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Pure Lithium.
'These results confirm that E3's lithium concentrate can produce battery-ready lithium metal anodes using Pure Lithium's technology,' said Chris Doornbos, President and CEO of E3 Lithium. "The Pure Lithium team has worked very hard in making these batteries and confirming the performance of our lithium. We are very encouraged by the results, and I am excited by the prospect of developing a local lithium battery supply chain in collaboration with Pure Lithium.'

A British TV art expert who sold works to a suspected Hezbollah financier is sentenced to prison
LONDON (AP) — An art expert who appeared on the BBC's Bargain Hunt show was sentenced Friday to two and a half years in prison for failing to report his sale of pricey works to a suspected financier of Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group. Oghenochuko Ojiri, 53, pleaded guilty to eight offenses under the Terrorism Act 2000. The art sales took place between October 2020 and December 2021. Ojiri, who also appeared on the BBC's Antiques Road Trip, faced a possible sentence of five years in prison in the hearing at London's Central Criminal Court, which is better known as the Old Bailey. In addition to the prison term, Justice Bobbie Cheema-Grubb said Ojiri faces an additional year on license. Ojiri sold about 140,000 pounds ($185,000) worth of artworks to Nazem Ahmad, a diamond and art dealer sanctioned by the U.K. and U.S. as a Hezbollah financier. The sanctions were designed to prevent anyone in the U.K. or U.S. from trading with Ahmad or his businesses. 'This prosecution, using specific Terrorism Act legislation, is the first of its kind and should act as a warning to all art dealers that we can, and will, pursue those who knowingly do business with people identified as funders of terrorist groups,' said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command. The Met's investigation into Ojiri was carried out alongside Homeland Security in the U.S., which is conducting a wider investigation into alleged money laundering by Ahmad using shell companies. Ahmad was sanctioned in 2019 by the U.S. Treasury, which said he was a prominent Lebanon-based money launderer involved in smuggling blood diamonds, which are mined in conflict zones and sold to finance violence. Two years ago, the U.K. Treasury froze Ahmad's assets because he financed Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed Shiite militant organization that has been designated an international terrorist group. Following Ojiri's arrest in April 2023, the Met obtained a warrant to seize a number of artworks, including a Picasso and Andy Warhol paintings, belonging to Ahmad and held in two warehouses in the U.K. The collection, valued at almost 1 million pounds, is due to be sold with the funds to be reinvested back into the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Home Office.
