SÃO PAULO, Dec. 15, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- Specialists from six countries discuss solutions for a new generation of electric batteries

Big names from the global scientific community, industry representatives and

technology developers will meet next Thursday, December 17, at the 2020

International Conference On Niobium Based Batteries, to showcase the most

innovative and sustainable solutions in the electrification sector.

The event will bring the most advanced battery technologies to the center of

the debate, such as the new developments with niobium, which can revolutionize

the market of electric and hybrid vehicles. "We have entered into partnerships

with companies and universities in Asia, Europe, US and Brazil for the

development of new products that have synergy with Niobium, as is the case of

graphene. This is a pioneering initiative in the world, which allows us to expand

our business market", explains Rogério Ribas, Head of the CBMM Battery segment.

The advantages of electric batteries with niobium include: greater

sustainability, due to a lower cobalt content, increased safety, because the

metal prevents overheating; an ultra-fast recharge in less than six minutes,

and also enhanced stability, with a life span of 15 to 20 years.

Conference participants include professionals from major global companies such

as XTC, Easpring and Dameng, from China; Toshiba, from Japan; and the startup

Echion Technologies, from Great Britain; in addition to specialists from

renowned universities in the United States, Japan, South Korea, the United

Kingdom, China, and Brazil. Presented by CBMM, a global leader in Niobium

products, the event can be followed in person or by a virtual platform.
