Wildcat Discovery Technologies Announces New Multi-Year Research

Collaboration with Tianmu Lake Advanced Energy Storage Technology

Research Institute (TIES)

Wildcat and TIES will leverage battery materials R&D synergies to accelerate cell performance
improvements.

San Diego, CA, July 12, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Wildcat Discovery Technologies is pleased to announce a
new multi-year research collaboration with the Tianmu Lake Advanced Energy Storage Technology
Research Institute (TIES), located in the Zhongguancun Science and Technology Industrial Park in
Liyang City, Jiangsu Province, China. TIES, headed by the distinguished Professor Hong Li, Institute of
Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Wildcat Discovery, will cooperate to develop and optimize
electrolytes for high energy density lithium-ion batteries.

Wildcat scientists, using high throughput research techniques, partnering with Professor Hong Li and his
team at TIES, will evaluate and develop new battery materials with incredible speed. Early research
targets will focus on high energy solutions. The powerful combination of high throughput
experimentation from Wildcat with TIES capabilities in high throughput computing, material preparation
and testing, and development of big data analysis technologies, is expected to produce some exciting
discoveries.

Wildcat Discovery Technologies, located in San Diego, CA, is known for its unique high throughput
platform (HTP) for battery materials research. Wildcat's HTP capabilities allow researchers to develop
new battery materials: anode, cathode, or electrolyte, from pre-synthesis to full cell battery testing in a
multi-layer pouch format. This comprehensive capability enables Wildcat's customers and collaborators
to move from discovery to prototypes in a matter of months, compressing the typical time necessary to
introduce new technologies.

“We are honored to collaborate with Professor Li and his TIES Research Institute, and look forward to
expanding the cooperation as the teams get to know one another,” says Mark Gresser, Wildcat's CEO.
“Our high throughput experimentation platform coupled with Professor Li's computational capabilities
and pilot plant, should prove very powerful for the development of new materials.”

About Wildcat Discovery Technologies

Wildcat has been developing, using, and improving its proprietary HTP for battery materials for nearly a
decade. Wildcat recently announced a new version of the platform, which allows researchers to find new
materials, optimize existing battery systems, reduce costs, and benchmark new technology from suppliers,
all in a fraction of the time needed versus conventional research methods. Please visit
