The Endurion battery feeds into the funding for the small business innovation research funds for building batteries for grid scale applications . If Coretec gets some of that money its awarded on May 15th and the program start date is in June as far as I can have read . That works well on the timeline because Coretec needs time to get their battery anode finished and proven . If it works Coretec will be in a good position to apply it to a Grid Scale size battery,. Hope for the best.
https://www.talent-101.com/blog/chips-for-america-act-funding-how-and-when-will-the-52.7-billion-be-distributed
An October article on the Chips Act with then thought to be time lines on funding. That may have been updated a bit since because it was a work in progress at that time as far as the application and award dates for Chips Act moneys. Ill look more to see what timelines are out there now to see if they changed . Coretec said they were talking to a couple of semi conductor companies about working with them in partnership to get funding .I believe Coretec said that the money would be used to create the best process to scale CHS at a price that is acceptable . Ill look back to see what they stated in the web cast
Part of what the article stated:
How will the funding process work?
Commerce said “funding documents, which will provide specific application guidance ... will be released by early February 2023. Awards and loans will be made on a rolling basis as soon as applications can be responsibly processed, evaluated, and negotiated.”
“We’re going to negotiate these deals one at a time,” said Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo. She added that they would need companies to prove government funding is necessary for production.
When will the program be implemented?
The program’s first priority is to get a team in place to oversee the program. Next, it will issue high-level principles and guidelines for how it will run the program.
By February 2023, the U.S. Commerce Department plans to begin seeking applications for $39 billion in government semiconductor chips subsidies to build new facilities and expand existing U.S. production in the New Year.
The agency hopes some funds could be awarded by spring 2023.
The DOE funded project with the Grid would be a nice extension of the tech spaces Coretec is working in. Hopefully someone will license or buy out Coretecs news anode in the more near term . At least a big partnership with an EV company or battery company and some revenue this spring/summer from Coretecs new anode materials . Would be nice to see some time lines from Coretec on revenue . Of coarse a merger with someone with revenue would be nice but they said they are looking at a few targeted companies now.

You might remember in the web cast Coretec mentioned November 7 2022 as a date to start learning about the DOE SBIR/STTR funding , that lines up with the dates here so this must be one funding source Coretec is looking at . Award date you will see is May 15th 2023 . If you scroll way down to the heading highlighted it lines up with what appears to be what Coretec would be involved in . There also a grid R&D program right before this one as well that's listed under Advanced grid tech but I think the second one is what Coretec is after.They said it would be 200 PH 1 and 1.1 million PH2
C56-09. ADVANCED POWER CONVERSION SYSTEM FOR GRID-TIED ENERGY STORAGE & ENERGY STORAGE DEPLOYMENT
The widespread adoption of grid-tied energy storage systems continues to grow, especially due to increasing deployment of renewable energy such as photovoltaic and wind energy systems. Grid-tied energy storage systems add valuable functionality such as renewable firming, frequency regulation, power quality enhancement, and dynamic stability support. Grid storage will ultimately improve the reliability, flexibility, security, and quality of the existing electricity infrastructure in both grid-tied and off-grid systems. The enabling technology that is crucial to these applications is the power conversion system (PCS). The power conversion system controls the power supplied and absorbed from the grid to energy storage device performance while maintaining grid stability. Critical electrical components used in PCS are semiconductors, magnetics such as transformers and inductors, and capacitors. With the advances in wide bandgap semiconductor devices such as SiC and GaN, new topologies for PCSs are emerging due to their high switching frequency, high junction temperature, and high breakdown voltage capabilities.
Energy storage is a key technology needed to maintain reliability and resource adequacy as the electrical grid transitions to increasing amounts of renewable energy, distributed energy resources, and electrification. While energy storage technologies have seen an increasing number of commercial deployments across a both stationary and transportation-based sectors, the global market for storage capacity is expected to grow

still looking for the New York Times interview with Michelle Tokarz
Looks like a great place to live a small town nice climate not to far from the bigger cities. I remember stock market cats but looked at the hub most of the time to see what investors were saying . Alot of penny stocks are gone off these sites because they got delisted from trading because they never filed any SEC filing nor were transparent as far as ive heard . Its good to be in a start up company that does both of those things and the quarterly updates are excellent as Coretec is accountable to shareholders.
I know other investors in Texas in Amarillo and there are some in Corpus Christi . There are several in Tulsa that i keep in contact with regularly I think a lot of people stumbled onto 3Dicon maybe thru investor hub but in Tulsa where 3Dicon started a lot of people heard of it thru Martin Keating speaking at different events. Someone introduced me to him here in Tulsa a couple of years after he started First Keating Corporation, Im very pleased to see that Coretec is in the game and that C-Space has new life . They have a good team and an opportunity to get something on the market and bring i some revenue and funding hopefully soon .
WOW Shareholders are from coast to coast . We would all like to see Coretec have, a " winning 2023 " as Matt Kappers Coretecs CEO stated he sees in the coming year ! Coretecs in a hot technology space and believes they will be a game changer from everything they are saying . Time will tell .
Theres a battery show in late March and late February Coretec is going to and then theres the North American The Battery next September. The 2 Coretec mentioned in the Webcast , International battery Conferance and National Alliance for the advanced transportation battery cell manufacturing ( NATTBATT ) coming up soon should be interesting as Coretec should have some good test results to share by then . Hopefully some of the results will be made public . Adelaide U. presentation should be posted soon . They are looking at and working on several funding options and in talks with the LED company about a partnership in the verticle agriculture arena. Then theres the 2 semi conductor companies they are talking to about a partnership needed for the Chips Act funding . Also small business innovations funding opportunity and State and local funding in their area. They said they have partners in manufacturing , testing and component companies as well . NDAs cover their partnerships so who knows who these companies are.They said they have the only tech like this in the world and they also stated Coretecs battery tech will revolutionize the EV battery world . Very confident to say the least .
Well , we are on the west coast , east coast and the middle of the country . I wonder where Pegs is located though some people may not want to divulge to much info on blogs , i get it , but its interesting to see where people are from and how they heard about Coretec or 3Dicon.
Havnt been to Boston yet but did think about seeing Paul Mccartneys concert out there a while back . Its interesting where everyone is from .Yeah thats a long time. I got in in 1999 with First Keating Corp the stock that became 3Dicon in 2003 and it did well in 2006. 3Dicon accually accomplished some good things through the years up to the time they needed the image space materials but then the deal with Schott defence didnt work out but its great to see C-Space finally making some progress with Adelaide U. I think the stock is undervalued now based on the excitement from the Coretec team and their recent updates about their new silicon active anode material and SEI layer development plus a host of other things they are doing that look promising . They stated twice that they are focused on moving a fast as possible to get their battery completed.
Nice area of California for sure . Its interesting how many people were shareholders in 3Dicon from all over the place and are still involved . Quit a few of us in Tulsa were in 3Dicon but sold
out after the 2007 time frame but got back in years later and went through the downturn of the stock price , merger with Coretec and reverse split of the stock and still hanging in there. Coretec is giving shareholders hope
they will see a successful out come which is not easy with a start up company. A lot shareholders im sure have added Coretec shares over time to average down on their share price as they buy Coretec stock at these lower prices as the 3Dicon stock price with a R/S and lowered stock price hurt a lot of investors stock value.
Its been a long haul in following 3Dicon and Coretec through the years . I was wondering where the few that do still post out here are from. Im from the Tulsa area . It would be cool to speak to other investors if possible and see what part of the country they are from . I keep in contact with several investors in the Tulsa area.
From the recent 10K issuance of 10.3 million shares . Would these be restricted for a year before they could sell or have limits on how many shares can be sold each month ?? not sure but they could be the one selling . Will have to do some research in the quarterly reports to see what investor may have exercised their warrants on Oct 21 , 2022.
On October 21, 2022 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 10,300,000 common shares for cash consideration of $1,030.
In the last quarter 10k it said an investor was given 10million shares at .0001 or 1000 dollars as part of an agreement I don’t have it front of me but that could be the one selling shares at 1 million per order
In the last quarter 10k it said an investor was given 10million shares at .0001 or 1000 dollars as part of an agreement I don’t have it front of me but that could be the one selling shares at 1 million per order
Someone has an order to sell 1,036,000 shares at 0.033 cents . Maybe a year end sell by the person who bought the 3 million shares several months ago from 17 cents to 51 cents in like 25 minutes and they are taking a lose and need a tax write off . Dennis Anderson who started Coretec out of NDSU had received 10,000,000, shares is no longer an insider and can sell anytime but i wouldnt think he would be selling at 0.033 cents.One guy at HC Wainwright got 3 plus million shares on the closing of the 6 million dollar investment from the Hedge fund but i dont think he is selling . Could it be Carlton James ?? Dont know but level 2 shows the order.
From this video you might recall they said they are making silicon nano powders and by using certain coating to contain our material in a controllred way we can charge batteries faster , at higher capacities and that live longer.
Nano Graf patent
This improvement in capacity retention and coulombic efficiency exhibited by the Test Group cells of the present application is believed to be attributed to the incorporation of pyrolyzed boric acid cross-linked PVA coated silicon and wrapped within graphene. More specifically, it is believed that the pyrolyzed boric acid cross-linked PVA that coats the silicon, provides a buffer medium that surrounds the silicon that helps prevent mechanical degradation of the silicon and stabilizes solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) loss. Furthermore, the graphene wrapping further provides space between the encapsulated silicon and the outer graphene wrapping thereby creating the buffer matrix structure. The buffer matrix structure comprising the polymeric coated silicon and the graphene wrapping thus provides mechanical support of the silicon and provides additional void space within which the coated silicon may expand. In addition, should the coated silicon fracture, the graphene wrapping contains the broken silicon pieces in a congruent configuration reducing capacity loss from electrical disconnection.
From a Nanograf patent their approach to the SEI layer looks to be different than Coretec
Thus, the particle structure of the composite anode material 10 of the present invention comprises a buffer matrix which comprises the buffer layer 16 and the void space 20 provided within the capsule 18 between the particles of the active material particle 12 and the interior surface 22 of the graphene capsule 18. The void space 20 within the graphene capsule 18 provides room within which the core material 14, i.e., silicon can expand. In addition, the buffer layer 16 around the core 14 provides mechanical support designed to minimize mechanical degradation and spalling of the core material, i.e., silicon or silicon oxide, during lithiation and delithiation. In addition, the particle structure shown in FIG. 1, further minimizes solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) loss as the capsule structure 18 compresses the core 14 and thus compresses the SEI against the core 14, thereby minimizing the possibility of mechanical degradation of the SEI from the silicon particle surface. Furthermore, should the core 14 fracture, the capsule structure 18 serves to hold the fractured pieces together in a congruent orientation such that at least some of the fractured pieces are in physical contact, thereby minimizing electrical disconnection and capacity loss.
Excellent update !! Lots of things to take away from the meeting . Talking with 2 auto companies and they said they had a discussions with Ford ,Endurion battery testing taking place in Dec.and January with results out at the first of the year. Eindhoven U R&D of CHS shows CHS is better than the rest , Possible LED partnership in verticle agriculture, C-Space work to this point completed with positve results to come out this month and updated Oklahoma University partnership . Working currently with a battery manufacturer and testing facility ' Still looking at potential mergers , IP on silicon on file recently . Silicon active materials at 50 nm while compitition at 100nm. Only company working developing for commercial use an SEI layer in an anode Michelle said that this is only being worked on by academica by others , DOD, DOE and NASA a few we have to possibly work with as well as many funding positives . Talking to 2 semi conductor companies about partnership to go with CHIPS ACT funding . Michelle had an interview with the NEW YORK TIMES I believe this week hopefully it is out havnt looked yet. Considering continued work with Eindhoven U but it needs funding so they will weigh options since Endurion most important but we got great data valadating CHS to use from Erik Bakkers team for our partners etc..Battery conferances coming soon to go to to spread the word about Endurion. Will be contacting other EV companies and consumer electronic companies and more . He mentioned the applications for military and war fighters drone being 2 of them . They said that Coretec work is novel / ground breaking . It will be a winning 2023 was added. We have patent protection especially with the FEB patent Coretec filed. So much more to come i will have to listen to the call again and if anyone gets the New York Time interview with Michelle let us know.Also stated that they couldnt talk about a lot of things with NDAs out i would bet if they talked to Ford that would have to be one of them !!! Possible partnershi[p with Ford in the future the way i see it .
I do hope they comment on Richmond chemical and Far chemical and their progess . I think i asked a question about that but surely they will comment on our chemical manufacturers progress and have they shipped out CHS to customers yet.

Experimental details
The wurtzite trunk GaP wires have been grown following references [31, 32] in a close-coupled showerhead reactor by Aixtron. The branches have been grown in the same MOVPE reactor at a total pressure of 50 mbar, and a total gas flow of 6200 sccm. After deposition of the Au particles on the GaP trunk wires, the samples are annealed at 710 °C for 1 min. For the growth of the branches the samples are cooled to 650 °C and exposed to 1% GeH4/H2 and 1% Si2H6/H2. [/b]The total group IV input flow is between 190 and 300 sccm.The input flux ratio of the precursors determines the chemical composition of the branches. The branches are grown for 6 or 6 and a half minutes.
I found 3 new papers posted from November that Erik Bakkers was involved with concerning nanowire . it said Erik Bakkers was responsible for growing nanowire . One paper , I believe it was #3 stated that they needed better quality of nanowires and more stable nanowire at the end of the paper . They were using a gas based silicon for this project which I assumed wasn't Coretec CHS. You have to click on PDF to bring up the entire paper.
https://arxiv.org/search/cond-mat?searchtype=author&query=Bakkers%2C+E+P+A+M
However, the charge stability of the system might be improved in the future by working on the quality of the oxides and nanowires. Because sim- ilar nanwowires have been employed as spin qubits [12], we anticipate that the improvements on the resonator in combination with a more stable nanowire device will en- able strong charge photon and hole-spin photon coupling in Ge/Si core/shell nanowires.
Yes that was the statement . I believe Coretec will license or sell out right certain chemistries for anodes but wont get into manufacturing batteries so i agree . Hopefully an auto company or someone specializing in silicon anodes will want Coretecs anode. Time will tell .Looking forward to another shareholder call if they decide to have another one .
Coretec said while back that after they create their silicon anode in their lab the next step would be to further optimize the anode with a anode manufacturer or a battery manufacturer that will take time as well. Ill have to find where they said that. But a partnership with a company like that would be a good sign and further validate what Coretec is doing.
They scale small amounts that are then used in research and development . CHS is just the starting material for the development of new silicon materials . The large scale production is needed to fill large orders but you have to have a product first . CHS is not the end product its just the beginning material used to create a product for a specific application. If they come up with a silicon material with Coretecs CHS in it for battery anodes that a company needs for mass production of that anode then they scale up large quantities of CHS which is the starting material for the production of a specific chemistry they have created using CHS in that chemistry. They grow nanowires and nano flakes etc with CHS dope it and whatever else they do with it like creating an artificial SEI layer in it Michelle talked about in the material in the lab to create a new material. Then CHS , if someone wants that new material using CHS,then its scaled up in large volumn and used to mass produce that new material using CHS as the starter material . CHS is not the product alone that is used in all of these applications. At the lab at Coretec , the CEA and Eindhoven University they are creating new materials with CHS adding to it growing nanowires with it etc to try to come up with that special chemical recipe to be the game changer.
Erik bakkers video on working with silicon materials and next gen. computers. Hopefully Coretecs CHS ends up in these applications
https://vimeo.com/678149241
Previous work from Erik Bakkers from the optosilicon website shows they had used Tetrasiliane Si4H10 and disilane Si2H6 in their work . We will hopefully see soon how CHS Si6H12 compares.

https://2boss.eu/ Check out the new 2BoSS project with the CEA . Question is is Coretec part of this project as the CEA has the job of creating the silicon anode for a sulfur battery with a silicon based anode .The CEA also is responsible for recycling batteries and producing and scaling up silicon anodes for the European Union project
I noticed Coretec paid about 55,000 dollars in interest to the DAF fund from Carlton James . That must be what the selling of about 2.4 million shares was about a week ago for 3 straight days ataround 0.02 cents average which is about 55,000 dollars . I notice the first payment on the principle on that loan is March 2024 , interest only for now.
Yes I believe so I might take another look at half cell testing for silicon anodes that might be interesting to see. 10 Q just came out early again for last quarter . Outstanding share count up about 10 million plus not to much at I think it was 267 million OS

Half battery cell testing :
There are many things to consider before you assemble full cell by analyzing half cell reactions.
You have to balance capacity/mass ratios.
Check the cyclability of half cells ...before get any idea about full cell.
Check polarisability of cathode and anode..
Select cut-off voltage of the full cell... and so on.
Polarisability
When a molecule is in an electric field, its distribution of charge is displaced. This induces a dipole µ. The polarisability a relates this dipole to the electric field:
As a simple rule of thumb, the polarisability is proportional to the volume occupied by the molecule.
Chengxu Shen
Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Before you assemble full cell, you should calculate the ratio of anode and cathode materials through specific capacity.
The mass ratio of anode and cathode materials is always calculated through following equation:
a*mass loading of anode materials*electrode area* specific capacity of true anode materials=mass loading of cathode materials*electrode area* specific capacity of true cathode materials,
a is a coefficient, and it is always controlled as 1.05-1.1, for little more anode materials.
The true specific capacity is always lower than (or different with, like graphite) theoretic specific capacity. So, we should define the true specific capacity of both anode and cathode materials before we research full cell.
As well as other parameters, like cut-off voltage.
Most important, the materials we studied are always not stable enough to study full cell. There are lots of parameters affect its performance. We normally research full cell using stable materials. Maybe this is also a big reason why we study half cell first before studying full cell.
