AdvEn Solutions Incorporated Founded on October 18, 2011

Discovered & patented new electrochemical process using

Fluoride-Ion as an Electrochemical Material Platform (EMP)

Focus on development of high performance electrochemicalmaterial technology and engineering, currently achieved

high-performance cathode material and proprietary induction

process (induced fluorination or iF).

Completed coin cell prototype development

Further product improvement via partnering with anode

developers (or self-developed anode), battery makers and

application providers

Status of commercialization

o Pouch cells can be fabricatedusing the same assembling line

for fabricating LIBs

o

The invented inducing processcan be conducted after the

pouch cells are fabricated and

would take less than a day to

complete (At least one month is

usually needed to condition theLIBs after fabrication)

Technological barriers to full scale production

o The technology is safe but validation and assessment in

real environments are needed.

Status of commercializationPath to commercialization

Forming business alliance/partners with existingcommercial entities

Existing partners

o Amita Technology, a Taiwan based company and aworld leader in fabricating high performance and high

consistency LIBs with full automation.

o Delaware Power System, a Vancouver based company

with established business worldwide on buildingbattery modules for various applications.

o Porous Si-Anode from Lockheed Martin Corporation
