Abstract:
Nexeon - the UK company developing advanced silicon materials for next generation rechargeable (Li-ion) batteries - has announced the opening of an office and development laboratory in Japan. Nexeon Japan K.K. is located in Yokohama, closer to many of Nexeon’s development partners and prospective customers in the electronics and automotive sectors.
Nexeon Establishes Base in Asia
Oxfordshire, UK | Posted on October 11th, 2016Nexeon Japan K.K. will focus on customer support, applications engineering and materials and battery R&D. The company is presently recruiting Battery Scientists and Engineers.
The new office and laboratory are situated on the Hakusan High-Tech Park, a complex for advanced technology companies and knowledge-intensive products, providing opportunities for talent and technological exchanges between companies.
“Establishing a base in Asia is very important for Nexeon”, said CEO Dr Scott Brown. “We shall be much closer to several of our key target markets where we already have good relationships with customers - for whom we are developing application specific solutions - and with complementary technology providers.”
An opening ceremony for the new office will take place with invited guests on 15th October.

About Nexeon
Nexeon Ltd. (‘Nexeon’) is a battery materials company developing silicon anodes for the next generation of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. Nexeon scientists have shown that producing silicon with particular morphologies makes it possible to use it as the battery anode material, and to develop batteries with significant performance advantages over their traditional equivalents.
Nexeon’s headquarters are located in Oxfordshire, where the company has established a manufacturing facility capable of producing 20 tonnes of material per year. Nexeon also runs a fully instrumented pilot plant, allowing an accurate understanding of the processes and costs associated with making anode materials. The technology has been conceived with a ‘drop in’ approach, requiring the minimum of changes to an existing Li-ion battery manufacturing operation.
Nexeon views the automotive and consumer electronics sectors as early targets for its technology, and has established relationships with global manufacturers in these sectors.
