The company produces lithium metal thin films for battery anodes using raw materials such as brine-derived solutions, recycled lithium-ion battery solutions, and dissolved lithium carbonate through its proprietary RLE process. This process operates at room temperature and bypasses high-temperature refining and transportation steps typically conducted overseas, aiming to simplify the lithium supply chain. The company is in the development stage and has not commenced commercial production, focusing primarily on research and development funded by federal and state government awards and private investment. Since 2023, the company has rebuilt its technical operations around the RLE technology, supported by government research awards and funding from NRL, its principal stockholder. In September 2024, NRL acquired approximately 45% of the company's outstanding common stock and has funded the company's non-SBIR operating expenses through advances. The company relocated its operations to Hopewell Junction, New York, in November 2022. The RLE process offers feedstock flexibility and produces lithium metal thin films directly from aqueous solutions at room temperature, differing from traditional industrial lithium metal production, which involves high-temperature electrolysis of molten chloride salts. NRL is identified as a supplier in company filings.
