FROM SOUTH KOREA TO ST ANDREWS: BATTERY INVENTOR SUPPORTS VALIDATION TESTING
Titanvolt’s LTO battery has been praised for its exceptional performance during initial testing at the University of St Andrews.
Executive Director and battery inventor Scott Bang travelled from South Korea to support the validation, which is part of a Scottish Government-funded collaboration between Titanvolt and the university.
Testing has been taking place at the Colin Vincent Centre for Battery Technology, a world-leader in battery innovation and a showcase for the university’s electrochemical research.
“Validation testing with the team at St Andrews demonstrated Titanvolt cells’ exceptional performance,” said Titanvolt’s Chief Operating and Strategy Officer, Dan Goodman. “It’s great that Scott, the inventor of the LTO battery, was there to see the initial results.”

Supporting inward investment
Dan added: “This is just the beginning of a collaboration with the university to strengthen ties and work more closely on testing and cell development validation.”
The collaboration was funded by the Scottish Inward Investment Catalyst Fund, which is supported by Interface and the Scottish Government, and attracts investment through R&D partnerships with Scottish universities.
Titanvolt’s pouch cell battery, which has no fire risk, is more energy efficient than other battery types and is 95% recyclable. It has been developed by Grinergy, a leading South Korean battery manufacturer, and brought to market by Titanvolt.
