Company Overview

Pure Lithium Corporation, founded in 2020 in Boston, Massachusetts, develops advanced lithium metal batteries through its proprietary Brine to Battery™ technology. Led by CEO Emilie Bodoin and CSO Donald R. Sadoway, the company’s mission is to enhance energy density, reduce costs, and improve safety and sustainability.

Battery Technology

Pure Lithium’s Brine to Battery™ process produces pure lithium metal anodes from brine, eliminating reliance on graphite, nickel, cobalt, and manganese. Combined with vanadium cathode technology, their batteries achieve twice the energy density at half the weight of conventional cells, deliver over 2,200 cycles at 100% depth of discharge with >80% capacity retention, use non-flammable polymer and inorganic liquid electrolytes, and reduce electrode production costs by 90%. The company holds nearly 100 patents, including collaborations with Sir Stanley Whittingham.

Products

Lithium metal pouch cells featuring pure lithium anodes and vanadium cathodes, offering ten times the capacity of graphite anodes, over 2,200 cycles at 100% depth of discharge with >80% capacity retention, non-flammable electrolytes, and 90% lower electrode costs.

Recent Projects

In 2024, Pure Lithium signed a joint development agreement with Saint-Gobain Ceramics for lithium-selective membranes, acquired Dimien to expand vanadium cathode capabilities, and received a foundational U.S. patent for its integrated lithium metal and battery production technology.

Investors

Series A was led by Oxy Low Carbon Ventures with $15M (up to $30M) and backed by Energy Capital Group, which includes board member Robert Friedland. The company is preparing a Series B round targeting $75–100M in 2025 with potential IPO plans.
