SLDP Solid Power trades at 2.23 cents now but in Nov 2021 it traded at 13.00 dollars.
I meant Solid Power ..thats the name of the company not solid state power ..
Agreement between Solid State Power and Ford Motor Company Dec 28, 2018. They did a non disclosure agreement on March 2 , 2018 and inked the longer term partnership on Dec 28 2018, which was 9 months later to develop Solid State Batteries. In this agreement in 2018 it states that Solid State Power had a solid state battery with a metallic lithium anode . But if you look at their web site today they have a silicon anode that they use in their solid state battery. They partnered with Ford and also BMW . Perhaps as Coretec files patents for silicon anodes for solid state battery applications as they stated they would maybe just maybe if Ford is one of the companies whom Coretec has a non disclose agreement with so possibly Coretecs silicon anode could be a part of Ford and BMWs battery and use our silicon anode in Solid State Powers/Ford /BMW batteries. You never know . It was 9 months after Fords non disclosure agreement with Solid State Power a partnership was signed . Coretec has had non disclosures for about that length of time or close to it with those they can't disclose . Expecting partnerships soon !!

Matt Kappers on Coretecs Endurion battery silicon anode ...I can't get enough of this statement
" What I found so enticing about Coretec is that, in a crowded market of battery developers, the team of experts here had really happened upon something truly novel in their development of silicon nanoparticles. We knew silicon was the key to unlocking battery potential, but this was the first team I’d found that unlocked the key to silicon’s potential."

Matt Hoffman Coretecs COO and CFO said , " Data equals financial success " . I can't wait to see the release of The Coretec Groups Endurion battery Data hopefully they can start giving us something because it looks from Matt Kappers statements that it already is the best !!
When Matt Kappers made this statement below in the recent interview he makes it very clear in a present tense statement that Coretec HAS UNLOCKED the key to silicons potential and is the FIRST to do it. Ramez Elgammel said in the last shareholder call that other silicon anode companies had some things that were , " missing in their patents " . It looks to me that Coretec has filled in the blanks. So to make these kinds of statements then Coretecs Endurion Battery test results must be VERY STRONG and they did say they believed it would get better. When they do release the Data from the battery testing results I believe it will be very good and greatly increase the value of The Coretec Groups stock. We are at 3 cents now as companies like Amprius are trading at about $ 6.00 Bucs and Enovix who also has a silicon anode trades at 15 Bucs. I believe from these statements that Coretecs silicon anode will be better than others !!! So when the data is released Coretecs stock goes from 3 cents to ...WHERE ? If Coretec has a better anode than these other players one would think the stock would make a huge move to the upside !! BULLISH BULLISH BULLISH

With another month of work and testing on the battery before the Battery Show Sept 12-14 Coretec will have more data to share at the big show and maybe another patent filing soon . I would hope we have another shareholder call soon but they wait until after the Battery Show to have one since its coming up soon.
28 days to The North America The Battery Show Sept 12 - 14...It was the 2nd day of the last battery show Coretec attended , Plug Volt , that the stock came off its lows around a penny and moved as high as 8 cents. We could see a move up during the Battery Show as well. Key to success for Coretec is GREAT DATA ! I think they have it NOW and it will get better as Matt Kappers said in the Authority Mag article that Coretec had unlocked the key to silicon anodes ... " this was the first team I found that unlocked the key to silicons potential "
https://www.thebatteryshow.com/en/home.html
So I see it was authoritymag that did the article titled green tech... so same question did they tag Elon Musk with this article and interview as they stated they might about Coretecs new silicon anode ???
https://medium.com/@authoritymag2
..My own question is ..did Green Tech or Coretec tag Elon Musk ??
One of the questions given to Matt Kappers in the Green Tech interview was
Is there a person in the world, or in the US with whom you would like to have a private breakfast or lunch, and why? He or she might just see this, especially if we tag them. "
Matts answer "Though he’s a figure of controversy, in the world of batteries, Elon Musk is definitely the most prominent name in the game. There would certainly be a lot of interesting theories and predictions for him to share about the future of batteries over the course of a meal."
Getting the silicon anode in a battery for lets say Ford and in a car on a auto dealership car lot could take a long time . What I'm looking for is the partnerships announcements of who Coretec will work with. As work is done with partners Coretecs silicon anode materials application could be bought out by one of those partners if Coretec had that opportunity vs licensing the tech. We will also have silicon anodes for solid state batteries , consumer electronics and the war fighter.
Comments from Matt Kappers from the Green Tech article :
What I found so enticing about Coretec is that, in a crowded market of battery developers, the team of experts here had really happened upon something truly novel in their development of silicon nanoparticles. We knew silicon was the key to unlocking battery potential, but this was the first team I’d found that unlocked the key to silicon’s potential.
Our battery technology has the power to dramatically ease some of the biggest consumer anxieties around EV adoption, which will lead to far more EV sales and use.
Big things ahead for Coretec !!
CRTG HUGE NEWS : Launches partnership program for commercialization of ther new silicon anode for lithium ion batteries which also can be used for Solid State batteries for EVs and the war fighter also consumer electronics and more !!!! Only a 3 cents stock at this point low float insiders own 75% plus of the stock .

CRTG The Coretec Group Silicon anode for batteries commercialization partnership program is launched . They believe their silicon anode makes batteries the best as their testing results have proven this !!! I hope they release soon some of those results
https://thecoretecgroup.com/press-releases/the-coretec-group-launches-its-endurion-partner-development-program/
Perhaps The Coretec group could be the standard for silicon anodes for various applications . If Coretec is seeking to work with those with technologies pertaining to the warfighter , consumer electronics , EVs and other i can see they are i would think close to filing patents for these other applications. The United States needs to stop relying on China for their batteries for all applications but number one our warfighter needs to be supplied with batteries with silicon anodes from The Coretec Group made right here in the good ole USA !!!
Press release out Partnership program news !!
https://investors.thecoretecgroup.com/news-releases/news-release-details/coretec-group-launches-its-endurion-partner-development-program
Key to Solid State Battery success is the silicon anode and with Coretec saying at the last call that they were going to file patents for their new silicon anode for solid state batteries as well it puts Coretec in a good position for success in both lithium ion batteries and solid state batteries . Nanograf has a solid state battery and says the silicon anode is the key as well as others who are saying the same thing .
https://nanografi.com/blog/solidstate-silicon-batteries-properties-and-applications/
And a second publication on the same topic
.https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2023/ee/d2ee04057c#:~:text=Silicon%20is%20considered%20an%20important,dendrite%20formation%20and%20morphological%20instability.
Also the inventor of the lithium ion battery said the sulfur battery would someday be the best battery of all . Well guess what sulfur batteries can use silicon anodes as well .
Looking for a shareholder call announcement soon. Perhaps they will talk about what commercialize plans mean which are to start in the 4th quarter , define it with goals . One other goal for the 4th quarter , only 2 months away , are partnerships with end users and battery manufacturer companies . Pouch cell taking place this quarter and the 4th quarter. Im waiting as we all are to see what those results are . Are they better that Amprious or Enovix , Silo Nano Tech and other silicon anode companies ?? If they are Coretec could be a target buyout of their anode for EV applications from one of those companies or someone like Ford or another EV car company > If Coretecs data is better than the others and better than the market standard I would think someone will move fast to work some kind of a deal with Coretec .Looking for more patent filings .
Patents on solid state battery anodes would be big as well as the other patents they will file hopefully soon for other applications . I believe this might be the quarter they said they might file some more patents from the road map goals . Will have to check . 10Q came out last year for the previous quarter on July 27th so im looking for 10 Q anytime to see how much cash Coretec has left.
From the Coretec blog today on the Plug Volt conference Michelle says in the post what i believe is VERY IMPORTANT STATEMENT !!:
Overall, it was a good networking opportunity, and we expect some fruitful follow-up conversations to occur because of our participation in PlugVolt. The parties present at this conference were definitely “all in” on electrification and silicon has a significant part to play in this effort. Our Endurion program is being recognized as a major player in this effort.

A company in Japan worked with Cyclohexisilane a few years ago and were working on a process for it i think for semi conductors but i dont believe anything came out of it. The key is the process to refine it and scale it which Coretec owns its own process and then the doping of the Si6H12 and working with it as a started material to create better materials depending on the application space. Yeah it gets a little complicated but Ramez does have some good info out there and videos as well that help get a better picture. I heard from a good source who said at Dow Corning they tried years ago to work with Cyclohexisilane to use it but not sure in what capacity but they failed to get what they needed . Ramez
said with new technology he was able to get a process created for it and scale it . That was a hugh day . I remember the blog Michael made refererance to just that . That was big but really no one noticed .
Amprius ( AMPX ) silicons listed in one of their patents are silicons and types of silanes that Coretec has already compared its CHS to and found to have lower depositons temperatures and higher yields which all come into play with making a silicon anode.
Amprius silanes listed from the patent : Any approptiate silicon source may be used for the non-conformal and conformal silicon layers including ; ( Monosilane ) silane SiH4 , Dichlorosilane ( H2SiCl2 ) , Monocchlorosilane ( H3SiCL ) Diphenylsilane ( The CEA mentioned this silane as one they compared CHS to ) Trichlorosilane ( HSiCL3 ) and Silicon tetrachloride ( SiCl4 ) to form silicon layers .
Coretec said these types of traditionally used silanes nanoparticles i mentioned above are not able to be functionalized at small nanoparticle sizes like CHS derived silicon nanoparticles and CHS to begin with can be made smaller . So the SEI layer now being formed on CHS custom made silicon nanoparticles are superior for several reasons .It can be a bit complicated for thse of us who are not chemists but Coretec has provided a lot of information and other companies have a lot of patents out there to compare Coretecs siicon anode active material to . Ive been told recently by one of the top people in the materials business that the semi conductor ndustry has been wanting this material ( CHS ) for a long time . As we know its ready for use in anodes but needs to have the process refined more to get for one a more pure material so it can be applied to semi conductors something they dont have to do to apply CHS for anode materials
When Coretec first started working on creating a process for their CHS with Evonik , which was successful though they parted way later, Coretecs plan was to commercialize CHS by shipping it out to customers who had bui;t out designs for their technologies using CHS. But Coretec stated that customers wanted more data on CHS Coretec formed the partnerships with the CEA ( french alternative energy and atomic energy commision ) and also Erik Bakkers at Eindhoven University to get that data . Well, after Covid related delays , that data came back showoing CHS had lower deposition temteratures and higher yeilds than the other traditionally used silanes that are most widely used today in technologies. So, then as we Know Coretec decided not to commercialize CHS right then BUT KEEP IT FOR THEMSELVES AND CREATE A LAB AND USE CHS IN MAKING THEIR OWN SILICON ACTIVE ANODE MATERIALS FOR A SILICON ANODE FOR LITHIUM ION BATTERIES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND OTHER APPLICATIONS instead of comercializing it which would mean shipping it to cutomers so they could licence it and make their own tennologies using CHS. (Using our own CHS in owr our lab for silicon anodes is NOT commercializing CHS but Coretec is commercializing their own silicon anodes which has CHS in it commercializing CHS is shipping it to other companies by itself so they can build their own products using Coretecs CHS . ) But Coretec choose what they feel is the most profitable and FASTEST WAY TO MARKET. Plus they own all the patents thus their current plan to create value by developing a family of patents which they spoke of i the last call. Some CHS didnt go away as we can see through patent filings but is one of the main ingredients in Coretecs silicon anodes according to patent filings and statements from Coretec . I hope this clears this up a bit . I might add commercializing CHS would entail for one refing the process CHS to make it very pure with a semi conductor company then scaling CHS then shipping CHS ( Commercializing it they pay for it ) it to semi conductors manufacturers to use to make semiconductors for semi conductor companies .
The more recent patent filing
ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 4, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Coretec Group (OTCQB: CRTG), developers of silicon anode active materials for lithium-ion batteries and cyclohexasilane (CHS) for electric vehicles (EVs), cleantech, and emerging tech applications......
Coretec’s team of scientists have developed three distinct and novel methodologies for minimizing pulverization and increasing rate capability by creating an artificial SEI layer around the silicon nanoparticle. Data supports the claims outlined in the patent filing and indicate that Endurion batteries utilizing this proprietary SEI layer are capable of extending the life of silicon-based anodes and enable improved silicon loadings in lithium-ion batteries for more energy density.
Now they are creating the artificial SEI layer around the CHS , Cyclohexisilane > silicon nanoparticle ...in some embodiments that would be stated in this patent . They are working with other silanes as well s they did mention that in a the pervious news release i posted .
I think it very important for shareholders to remember and see that CHS has been the heart of the Endurion Battery silicon anode program and still is . It confused shareholders i believe when Matt Kappers said a while back that , " Coretec had not given up on commercializing CHS " etc He was talking about further work with the chemical CHS and refining it for use for semi conductors where the CHS material has to be extreemly pure for use i that space or application .Thats what the hope still is as they seek funding to work with a semi conductor company to continue to refine CHS for semiconductor applications . But thats not the case for silicon anodes or for LEDs for that matter . The work being done on anodes can be helpful for LED applications as well. We can see that here in the filing below
ANN ARBOR, MI / BUSINESSWIRE / February 28, 2022 – The Coretec Group, Inc., (OTCQB: CRTG), a developer of engineered silicon and 3D volumetric displays, has filed a full utility patent on its provisional patent for the development of advanced silicon anodes using cyclohexasilane (CHS) and other silanes.
The full-utility patent – filed February 24, 2022 – builds on a provisional patent filed a year earlier. This patent application covers the use of CHS to produce a wide variety of silicon anodes for use in lithium-ion batteries.
Filing the utility patent is a necessary step to formally protect The Coretec Group’s work on the battery initiative it embarked upon last year.
And from the last conferance call :
And, with regards to the Endurion, we have two pieces of IP right now, so one, a patent that was filed initially, and then where we've done
a conversion in February of 2022 through a PCT application, is a CHS approach to making a wide variety of silicon anode materials, and
these can be either pure silicon anode materials or doped silicon anode materials or even silicon nitride in an anode material that's now
of interest, or an approach to take a graphitic or carbon type of particle and then grow silicon nanowires on that using CHS.

This refers to Armistice : They excersiced 12.5 million pre- funded on May 9th I believe 2023. That give them 39 million left to sell . In Feb 2023 the 23.5 million original shares was down to 13.4 million according to the SEC filing
On March 2, 2021, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement with a single institutional investor in a private placement to sell (i) 23,500,000 shares of its common stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 51,500,000 shares of its common stock, and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 82,500,000 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $6,000,000. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and associated Warrant is $0.08 and for one Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Warrant is $0.0799. The sale of the securities under the Purchase Agreement closed on March 5, 2021. The pre-funded warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the pre-funded warrants for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events. The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the placement agent (or its designees) warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 8.0% of the aggregate number of shares and pre-funded warrant shares sold under the Purchase Agreement, or warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 6,000,000 shares. The placement agent warrants generally will have the same terms as the warrants, except they will have an exercise price of $0.10.
I saw a quote from someone that said the MMs ( market makers ) wont let it go above 3 cents . Lets take a closer look at the stock action over the last several months especially the last 2 and look at Armistice Coretecs institutional investor and their stock holdings :
Note 8 – Subsequent Events the last 10Q :
On May 9, 2023 an investor provided notice of cash exercise for pre-funded warrants with a price per share of $0.0001. The warrant exercise results in an issuance of 12,500,000 common shares for cash consideration of $1,250.
Armistice is the only one that could have exercised these warrants i know of . They had 23 million to start after the initial funding to Coretec and in a filing in Feb 2023 they had 13 million left and now the exercise of 12.5 million pre funded warrants on May 9, 2023 and 38 million pre funded warrant remaining . They still have 82 million warrants left that can be exercised at 0.0799 cents
First we need huge demand and huge volume which may happen now or only with news to move this higher .But on the other hand lets take a look at this : Armistice , the company that gave Coretec 6 million dollars , excercised pre funded warrants to the tune of 12.5 million dollars in May. They still have 38 million pre funded warrants left .They can only have 4.99% of the outstanding share count , no more, at a time . When the stock was driven to a penny and below it had to be Armistice that was selling aggressively no one else had that many shares that were aggressively sold and position to sell so many shares as it was not insiders . A few days after the very positive conference call that stopped and the stock moved up slowly and then the Plug Volt battery show and the stock rebounded nicely with more demand and large ordrs to buy. But i believe Armistice is still selling stock but not well below the ask again and again like what happened in the drop to a penny. So with 38 million pre funded warrants remaining after they sell that last 12.5 million shares we might see another filing from them as we did in early May and the selling might continue .
Michelle Tokarz quoted in new article just out
https://www.energytech.com/energy-storage/article/21270254/the-electrode-less-traveled-alternatives-to-liion-in-battery-energy-storage
Silicon anodes reportedly avoid the plating issues of li-ion at low temperatures. They also can elevate the quality of charge within li-ion systems.
“Currently, most, if not all, anodes in a lithium-ion battery have some percentage of a conductive material (either as an additive or coating) that boosts the over-conduction of lithium ions,” Coretec Group’s Tokarz said. “Given the tremendous opportunity with silicon’s 10X charge capacity, finding a way to boost the conduction is absolutely worthwhile.”
We might also remember Tesla works with Panasonic making batteries so a The Coretec Group and Panasonic battery partnership could involve Tesla as well . Just a thought .
Tesla partnership possibilities with The Coretec Group (CRTG) ....The Coretec Group / Tesla partnership ( Elon Musk would benefit greatly with need for better materials for the Space X program as well ) i believe is possible since Tesla a while back bought a Silicon anode company called SilLion inc for their batteries . I believe The Coretec group has a better silicon anode than Tesla purchased at that time and i would think Tesla is continuing to look at other companies silicon anodes . If you remember way back in an early Coretec shareholder call , maybe the first when Coretec was still in partnership North Dakota State University they said that Tesla had contacted NDSU for samples of the Cyclohexsilane , CHS , product they developed at NDSU but they said they couldnt scale up enough of it in their lab to give Tesla what they needed .That was before Coretec was started and they said one reason that Coretec was started so they could scale up the Si6H12 , CHS , materials to ship out to companies who wanted to test it . Most of us know the route Coretec took after they became a company out of NDSU so i wouldnt get into that but as you know , now, Coretec not only has the materials they need to work with but have created their own silicon active anode material and created perhaps the best silicon anode to date and are positioned for EV auto partnerships and battety manufacturer partnerships in Quarter 4 of this year .
If Coretec gets deals with major EV auto companies and Battery manufacturers the 4th Quarter this possibly move the stock price to a dollar one would think . They dont have a big outstanding share count and insiders own are high recent of the stock. That kind of news would be huge !!
Tesla would be a nice partner for The Coretec Group as they have a huge following and the presence Elon Musk has on Twitter , X , would give The Coretec Group big exposure on their new silicon anode battery materials. The names Ford , GM , Rivian and Tesla were all mentioned as major players in the EV space as well as battery companies LG and Panasonic and one other in the last conferance call with shareholders and Michelle followed that statement with the statement that The Coretec Group was working with several of these major players. This quarter pouch cell testing is one goal which is big because thats the data eveyone wants to see and also possibly filing more patents this quarter . 3rd quarter is July , Aug and Sept 4th Quarter Oct , Nov and December coming soon. I believe there are big things ahead !!
The 10Q that came out last year for the 2nd quarter came out early on July 27th . Look for the 10Q perhaps being out early this year as well. Will bee looking for how much cash Coretec has left as they havnt recieved any funding in a long time and that is the most important thing to watch at this point that they need , CASH , to get to the finish line . The 4th Quarter goals Coretec stated in the call recently are looking at partnerships with Battery manufactuers and end user partnerships as well as comercialization plans will be in the works . That could be a big quarter as we could see Coretec partner with big EV companies and battery manufacturers.
Plugvolt battery show next Tuesday the 18th thru Thursday !! Coretec should be sharing some of their exciting news battery developments with companies at the show !!! We need some collaborations with other companies long term to come out of this battery show !!
