3 Tin for lithium ion batteries (LIB) Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 3

4 Lithium ion batteries high growth market Drivers: more energy, smaller size, lighter weight Lithium Ion Battery Cells Worldwide Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 4 4

5 Tin Nanode to increase energy density 1000 Comparative energy density at the battery cell level Volumetric Energy Density (Wh/L) Smaller size Ni-Cd Lead Acid Ni-MH STANDARD LITHIUM ION Gravimetric Energy Density (Wh/kg) TIN NANODE Lighter weight Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 5 5

6 Lithium ion battery anode materials Anode e - Li + Anode material Gravimetric capacity Volumetric capacity Volume expansion Graphite 372 mah/g 770 mah/cc ~10% Tin 991 mah/g 2114 mah/cc 240% Silicon 3579 mah/g 2200 mah/cc 275% Lithium metal 3860 mah/g 2066 mah/cc Graphene n.a. 384 mah/cc ~10% Cathode If the 2015 LIB market replaced graphite with tin, it would consume 23,000 tonnes Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 6 6

7 Tin for sodium ion batteries (NIB) Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 7

8 What could be used instead of lithium? Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 8 8

9 Sodium heavier but feasible for stationary storage Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 9 9

10 Nano-Nouvelle technology Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 10

11 Patented platform technology Polymer substrate Lumafoil Nanode 3D porous nanostructure Surfaces coated with metal to be conductive Active material coating to provide battery energy Nano-Nouvelle Nouv Pty Ltd 11 11

12 Lumafoil light weight, porous current collector Lighter weight structure: solid foil has reached its manufacturability limit in thinness. Battery cell weight reduction up to 10%. Faster electrolyte wetting for up to 12% reduction in cell assembly costs Solid copper Lumafoil Roll-to-roll production proven Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 12

13 Tin Nanode high energy anode Thinner, lighter Tin Nanode electrode can replace the existing graphite electrode Electrodes with much higher energy density Full battery cells with up to 50% more energy by volume, 35% by weight Cost savings through removal of several components, elimination of nanoparticles in manufacturing, and faster wetting Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 13

14 Engaging with customers around the world Global battery maker Niche battery maker Battery materials supplier Battery customer (OEM) Nano-Nouvelle Pty Ltd 14
