Pure Lithium is a disruptive Boston based start-up commercializing the next-generation of lithium metal batteries without nickel, cobalt or graphite. PL elegantly combines two technologies, lithium extraction and novel battery technology, to deliver the highest performing, lowest cost, safest lithium metal battery to the market. By utilizing novel Brine to Battery™ electrodeposition technology, PL bypasses traditional lithium compound production to create thin, ultra-pure, battery ready lithium metal anodes in one day! This technology is vertically integrated into battery manufacturing, reducing costs and dramatically streamlining battery manufacturing. The company’s novel lithium metal battery utilizes a vanadium cathode and proprietary electrolyte. Backed by Oxy Low Carbon Ventures and mining legend Robert Friedland, PL is led by world-renowned battery and metallurgy expert, MIT Emeritus Professor Donald R. Sadoway, and inventor and lithium expert CEO Emilie Bodoin.
