Matter, a tech innovation-led start-up, with the aim to accelerate electric mobility adoption, is collaborating with Prof Arumugam Manthiram, George T and Gladys H Abell Endowed Chair of Engineering at The University of Texas, Austin, for the development of the new-gen lithium-ion cell technology. Dr Manthiram brings a wealth of experience in lithium-ion cell technology and has extensively worked on the design and development of sustainable, low-cost, durable materials for electrochemical energy conversion and storage to address global energy and environmental challenges.

Over the past few years, Matter has been working on a multitude of disruptive cross-platform solutions. Now it is gearing up to accelerate the development of future battery technologies, which is fundamental for the large-scale adoption of electric mobility in India. Matter will focus on new cell chemistries, and efficient cell architectures to help enhance the battery-specific energy, longer cycle life, and consistency in performance that ensures safety, security, and reliability.

Mohal Lalbhai, Founder and Group CEO, said, “India's electric mobility world is on an unparallel journey, and the demand for superior cell technology has never been more pressing. At Matter, we would like to commit to the indigenous development of the cells for the future, and our collaboration with Dr Arumugam Manthiram will be instrumental in creating the technology of the future, making India truly self-reliant in the most important aspect of EV (Electric Vehicle) ecosystem.

Kumar Prasad Telikepalli, Co-Founder and Group CTO, added, “We are elated to collaborate with Dr Arumugam Manthiram for the development of the new-gen lithium-ion cell technology. After launching India’s first liquid-cooled electric two-wheeler battery pack, we aim to build an energy-efficient ecosystem that can support real word and extreme climatic conditions. We are consistently investing in R&D and incorporating market-specific insights to create compelling products that are in sync with customers’ needs and preferences.”

Dr Arumugam Manthiram said, “I am extremely excited to work with Matter, a start-up that has been working extensively in the electric vehicle technology and is driving the change. Together, we can make significant strides in improving next-generation battery technologies and push the boundaries of delivering the most efficient and sustainable energy solutions for a better future. With our combined expertise and dedication, we can accelerate the transition towards a cleaner environment."
