- A recognized battery expert, Dr El Quatani brings 19 years experience of the battery industry and will drive the development and commercialisation of the company’s expanding portfolio of advanced cathode active materials
- The company has just commissioned its UK pilot plant, capable of producing 20 tonnes of Lithium Iron Phosphate nanomaterial a year, and is also developing Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate chemistries
- Integrals Power is helping to accelerate the development of the UK battery industry’s domestic supply chain, which will be essential to a secure and sustainable future for all forms of e-mobility
Milton Keynes, 13.08.2024: Integrals Power has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Dr Loubna El Ouatani to the position of Chief Product Officer. A recognized battery expert bringing 19 years of technical expertise in the battery industry, Dr El Ouatani will be instrumental in driving forward the development and commercialisation of the company’s cathode active nanomaterials for Lithium-ion batteries, focusing on Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Manganese Iron Phosphate (LMFP).
Integrals Power Founder and CEO, Behnam Hormozi, said: “In just a short space of time our company has scaled from a start-up to an established battery nanomaterial company with a pilot plant that’s the first of its kind in the UK. As we continue our strategic growth, I’m delighted to welcome Dr Loubna El Ouatani to the team.
“The experience and expertise within the battery industry she brings is an incredible asset to us, and as Chief Product Officer she will play a pivotal role in ensuring that we continue to innovate and develop the high-performance and sustainable LFP and LFMP nanomaterials that are in growing demand in the global automotive, motorsport, marine, and aerospace industries worldwide.”
Last month Integrals Power reached a key milestone in its strategic growth with the commissioning of its UK pilot plant to manufacture its proprietary, high-performance nanomaterials. These will be evaluated by cell suppliers, battery and vehicle manufacturers worldwide as they seek more cost-effective alternatives to Nickel Cobalt Manganese chemistries and more sustainable, more secure sources of LFP. Dr El Ouatani will ensure that Integral Power’s nanomaterials will be an enabling technology for making these changes, and, in the process, help to accelerate the development of the UK battery industry’s domestic supply chain.
Dr El Ouatani joins Integrals Power from Echion Technologies, where she was responsible for development of anode materials for superfast-charging Lithium-ion batteries, and also worked at leading battery company SAFT on a broad range of active materials for space, defence, and automotive battery applications, taking them from research project-level through to commercial products.
