Integrals Power has announced the appointment of Tony Harper as senior adviser.
In his role, Harper will help identify public and private funding opportunities, explore locations for new facilities, form new relationships and collaborations and support commercial development of the company’s cathode active materials for electric mobility and energy storage.
Integrals Power currently focus on the production and commercialisation of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium magnese iron phosphate (LMFP) cathode active materials, the latter of which uses 80% Manganese content to offer similar energy density to Nickel Manganese Cobalt chemistries but, the company say, for less cost and with greater robustness.
Harper has over 40 years of experience in the automotive and battery technology sector and is a recognised expert on battery technology, research and innovation. Previously he has worked as Director of Engineering Research at Jaguar Landrover and Challenge Director of the Farraday Battery Challenge at UK Research and Innovation, where he oversaw the UK government £610 million investment in battery innovation.
Integrals Power Founder and CEO, Behnam Hormozi, said: “We’re delighted that Tony Harper is joining us to help shape the next stage of our expansion. He is one of the most well-known and well-respected figures in the UK battery industry, and his knowledge and guidance will enable us to continue to grow strategically and sustainably – while remaining focused on cutting-edge innovation.”
