I am in no way a lawyer or accountant. Do not take anything I say as gospel. I was told that they are trying to raise funds to get things going again. In this scenario, I was told by a non-expert that we would have to be included in some way. Only under bankruptcy are we wiped out I WAS TOLD. However, it is a private company in India so who the hell knows. I surely don't. I'm just holding and hoping for the best. What I am holding and who is holding it? I can't say. I guess I have to be bullish as we are already at zero. If we were at .01 I might be bearish.

XNRGI, recently funded by a US Department of Energy (DOE) grant for advance manufacturing of the X- PowerChip™, has developed a game-changing, high-performance, rechargeable lithium metal battery (using a 3D porous silicon structure as the electrode substrate), which can be manufactured using a low-cost, contract-based, semiconductor foundry model to reduce CapEx costs by 95% (compared to traditional battery factories that require billions to build and years to construct). Most importantly, the semiconductor manufacturing foundation of the XNRGI battery will allow the technology to improve along the same path as semiconductor improvements (i.e., Moore’s Law), while lithium-ion technology is approaching its limited potential for improvement.
The XNRGI technology platform is based on the most versatile manufacturing platform that the battery industry has seen in its long history. It has solved numerous disadvantages of old conventional legacy battery technology that has plagued the battery industry during the past 30 years. XNRGI’s Lithium Metal anode has 10-times the energy density of a standard Lithium Ion anode. Combined with XNRGI’s 3D pores that increase the active surface area of the battery by 70-times, performance is dramatically improved. At the same time, XNRGI’s 3D pores create a cool and safe architecture for any battery chemistry, basically eliminating concerns of overheating and fire, which have plagued other Lithium Ion batteries. The XNRGI battery design is “chemistry” agnostic as it does not restrict use of almost any cathode material, including the most common LCO, NMC, NCA, or LFP cathode materials. The main advantages of this method include: high energy density today demonstrating Lithium Metal battery at (> 1600 Wh/L) 400 Wh/kg and, XNRGI’s next generation battery in 2020 Lithium Metal Air at (4400 Wh/L), 680 Wh/kg with high currents that enable fast charge and discharge, long cycle life based on elimination of lithium dendrite formation, greatly improved safety, and low-cost batch fabrication. XNRGI’s 3D architecture provides a safe house of new chemistries to be safely contained for future high energy density materials, which can be manufactured in high volumes - a flexible architecture foundation platform for the evolution and design of batteries in the future.
Energy Density in batteries is the primary bottleneck to the global mass adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Renewable Energy (like solar and wind power). Today’s batteries have a short life, are too costly, too large, and too heavy, so they limit a vast array of applications. Batteries often require specialized manufacturing facilities for different applications, which limits the opportunities to cost-efficiently scale manufacturing and create enough power to meet global stored energy demands
Currently, the total global capacity for battery technology stands at 150 gigawatts. By 2050, the global renewable energy demand for the grid alone will be 42-terawatts, according to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control). Additionally, multiple terawatts will also be needed for transport and the electrification of other emerging markets. And, this volume of power, will not come from the grid because according to Lawrence Livermore Labs, 68% of all energy that is contributed to the U.S. grid is “wasted” through resistance, transmission, transfers, and curtailment (energy that is rejected when it cannot be used or stored, since the grid is not a battery).
There is clearly an overwhelming need to find a cost-efficient, scalable manufacturing architecture for batteries that can meet changes in density, size, weight, and shape for every use case, including Transport, Grid, Consumer Electronics, the Internet of Things, and everything in between. Moreover, this architecture would need to facilitate the mass production of batteries that are safe, tunable, and affordable.
Such an application, could, in itself, make renewable energy viable to meet the exponential global growth of stored energy demand.

XNRGI has produced 600 working samples (8 billion micro-batteries) for a wide range of clients, and proven its ability to manufacture its batteries at less than $150/kWh no matter what the application or scale.
XNRGI believes that our silicon architecture enables various advantages in performance, cost, manufacturability, and technology extendibility, including: packaging, safety, power and energy density optimization, and an application for a range of sizes from micro batteries (for the Internet of Things) to large batteries (for EV and Grid scale storage). XNRGI also has the ability to innovate battery enhancements every 18 to 24 months, thereby allowing continuous improvements unlike conventional battery architectures.
Driven by mobility (transportation) and grid-scale storage, the battery market is set to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of more than 40% over the next few years
XNRGI is uniquely positioned solve the industry-wide challenges of performance, cost, safety, outsourced manufacturing, and short lead-time to manufacturing. The architecture serves as an innovation platform that will enable an evolutionary path for battery advances for many years to come
With significant inroads to and Early Adopter Programs with the worlds-largest EV, Grid, Consumer Electronics, and IoT manufacturers, XNRGI is equally well-positioned for rapid, profitable growth and the ability to supply the world’s demand for electric energy storage.
XNRGI addresses all five key performance characteristics, Energy Density, Safety, Low Cost Capital Efficient Manufacturing, Flexible Technology Platform (unlimited applications), and short lead-time for manufacturing to secure a new supplier qualified for mass production (typically 3-6 months). Conversely, its competitors typically address only one or two of the five key areas of battery performance (Energy Density and/or Safety), they are burdened with the large capital costs that are associated with long lead times for manufacturing, and are limited to one cathode, and thereby limited to one type of application.

Grant to give boost to battery developed by Neah Power
Neah Power Systems was chosen by the U.S. Department of Energy to work with Argonne National Laboratory to increase the capacity and manufacturability of its rechargeable lithium-metal battery.
The relationship will help the company’s technology leapfrog, said Chris D’Couto, Neah Power’s president and CEO.
Neah Power will work with the laboratory near Chicago for a year. The laboratory time and expertise is valued at $300,000.
Neah Power was based in Bothell, but is relocating to Edmonds. The batteries are manfuctured in Beaverton, Oregon. The company is developing a high-density, rechargeable lithium metal battery called Neah PowerChip Battery for defense, commercial and consumer uses.
The unique architecture using lithium metal and porous silicon is making the battery five times more powerful than batteries in production today, D’Couto said.
Theoretical modeling of the battery shows that it should be producing even more energy storage and output than it already does, D’Couto said.
With assistance of the national laboratory, Neah Power hopes to identify the changes that need to be made so the practical application matches up with the theoretical modeling.
There’s long been a search to build a better battery that can store and produce more energy and “live forever and cost nothing,” said Ira Bloom, senior chemist and group leader at Argonne National Laboratory.
He pointed to the carbon zinc batteries at hardware stores, noting how they come in many shapes and sizes. He said changing the battery’s chemistery also changes everything.
“It’s a scientific discipline, but how you make it can be an art form,” Bloom said. “Once you figure out how to produce it, it’s very re-produceable.”
He said he’s unfamiliar with Neah’s PowerChip, but looks forward to working on it.
“It presents an interesting challenge, no question about it,” Bloom said. “I hope everybody learns from this project.”
