@Wes1978 Owning PPK opens up many opportunities, such as gaining access to the White Graphene IPO.

Many of the posters on LIS do not clearly understand the background knowledge of BNNT, which can be found on the PPK thread. This takes a bit of research......but Wes, I know you are all over it!!

LIS to save the WORLD!!!

Governments throughout the world are struggling to meet emissions reduction targets. Climate change is of diabolical concern and represents the “biggest investment opportunity since the internet”.

It does not matter what renewable energy source or otherwise is adapted – they will all require batteries.

Lithium-Ion batteries were first commercialised in 1991 (following development through the 1970s & 1980s), a minimum 30-year-old technology.

Lithium-Ion batteries require numerous natural resources to be mined, they are part of the problem not the solution. Many fires, explosions and deaths have resulted from attempts to squeeze the last possible gains from this antiquated technology.

The answer is LiS – Lithium Sulphur Batteries, for the following reasons:

- Environmentally sustainable
- Safety
- Economical
- Adaptability
- Commercially viable
- Benefits upstream and downstream – financially and ecologically
- Biological balancing

Battery markets include:
- Domestic
- Commercial
- Vehicles; cars, trucks, buses, scooters, fork-lifts
- Aircraft
- Technology; phones, tablets, laptops, drones
- Leisure; electric bikes, hover boards, radios, wearables
- Storage; self-sufficient homes, neighbourhood, large scale- Health; hearing aids
- Remote controls, gadgets, etc….

Deakin worked on BNNT (the critical component of the LiS battery) for almost a decade. Deakin University (Melbourne Australia) have been working on LiS for a decade. LiS comes highly credentialed, has been independently scrutinised and legitimised.

Deakin’s research The Prospectus (Section 5.1) states:

“In achieving these results, Li-S Energy has had the benefit of BNNTTL’s technical skill and know-how in respect of the practical application of BNNTs in batteries, as well as Deakin’s prior decade of research into the development of novel uses for BNNTs, and future battery technologies, including the patent for “Flexible Lithium-Sulfur Batteries” (sic) as detailed in Section 12.3(a) and the Intellectual Property Report in Section 7“ The following provides more detail of Deakin’s prior decade of research:

(a) When was the first work on lithium-sulphur batteries by Prof Ian Chen's research lab? Professor Ying (Ian) Chen is the Alfred Deakin Professor and Chair of Nanotechnology at the Institute of Frontier Materials of Deakin. In 2011, Prof Chen's lab at Deakin started to think about future battery technology for EVs including lithium-sulphur and lithium-air batteries with higher energy densities, after many years research in lithium-ion batteries. In 2012, Prof Chen and his team started experimental work in sulphur cathode by loading sulphur into BNNTs to reduce the shuttle effect. In 2013, a PhD student (Mr Ye Fan) was recruited with the PhD research project on lithium-sulphur batteries. The earlystage research in lithium-sulphur batteries focused on cathode materials using various nanomaterials and collaborated with other groups. Prof Chen and his team started to publish the results from 2014.

(b) How much money/time/person hours has been invested? Over the past decade, eight research staff, one technician and 10 PhD students have been involved in the research related to lithium-sulphur batteries including the usage of boron nitride and carbon nanotubes, boron nitride nanosheets, graphene and other nanomaterials in cathodes, separators, interfaces, electrolytes, etc. Some members have left after completing their contracts or studies. Roughly, 40% of times of these staff and students were spent on lithium-sulphur battery related works. Therefore, estimated research time is more than 120,000 hours. Across multiple internal and external funding schemes, it is estimated that more than $30M has been invested in this research over the past decade.

(c) Detail on patents Patents on Li-S battery technology

(i) International Patent Application PCT/AU2020/050986 – Flexible Li-S batteries, 2019.

(ii) Australian Patent 2021901368 – Metal Anodes, May 2021

(iii) Australian Patent 2021900777 – Sulfur cathodes, March 2021

(d) Detail on publications Prof Chen’s team has published more than 130 papers in battery technology.LIS will gain the full support of people, communities, industry, and governments throughout the world.
The world needs LIS!!
