Statement of Work to OKME

________________________________________________________________

For the Development of a Deposition Tool & Deposition Process

For Manufacturing Solid State Lithium-ion Cell Electrolyte Films

February 1, 2013

The goal of this multi-phase project is to demonstrate proof of principle and
subsequently deploy Mesdi’s technology as a scalable process for manufacturing
the electrolyte layer, and or other layers, of a solid-state lithium-ion battery
and its application in battery manufacturing generally.

Phase I -

 

The deliverables of Phase I are:

1.

A solid-state electrolyte film prepared using Mesdi’s technology, which exhibits
ionic conductivity and physical characteristics comparable to electrolyte films
prepared using vacuum sputtering deposition.

2.

Demonstration using both hardware (nozzle array) and modeling, that the Mesdi
tool and process are scalable, and fit OKME’s financial constraints for capital
equipment. The time frame of this project is February 1 2013 – August 16 2013.

Scope:

 

The project will be carried out as follows:

 

(1) Tool Development

(a)

A prototype atmospheric-pressure thin-film deposition tool will be designed and
built utilizing Mesdi’s multiplexed electrospray technology. The prototype tool
will include subsystems required to operate and deliver the chemical precursors
to the deposition system, non-contacting sensors where applicable, and automated
process control, along with the supporting peripheral processes.

 

(2) Process Development

 

(a)

Mesdi will utilize the prototype deposition system to develop and optimize a
deposition process for solid-state lithium-ion electrolyte thin-film materials.

 

(b)

The development effort will include optimization of:

 

(i)

Liquid phase precursors compatible with the prototype tool. An inorganic chemist
will be subcontracted to co-develop the liquid precursors.

(ii)

Process parameters suitable for film growth, such as speed and temperature, gas
flow, fluid flow, droplet size distribution, etc.

(iii)   Substrate pre and post treatments.

 

(3) Physical characterization and electrical performance of the film

 

(a)

Morphology, thickness uniformity, and electrical characteristics will be
analyzed at OKME using the SEM, Digital Microscope, XRD, and AC Impedance
Spectrometer. Other characterization will be performed by subcontracting the
University of Central Florida’s Materials Characterization Facility.

reports.  A final report will be submitted at the end of the project.  If the
delivered samples meet functional specifications, Phase II of the project will
be triggered, including a purchase order for a pilot deposition system.

IP Rights:

 

Mesdi will own the intellectual property that is created under the scope of this
project.. The prototype deposition tool constructed under this proposal will be
jointly owned by Mesdi and OKME.

Once the Phase I project is successful, Mesdi and OKME will negotiate to enter
into a mutually acceptable licensing agreement in Phase II.

 

Phase II -

 

The goal of Phase II is development of a pilot-scale deposition system,
utilizing the deposition tool technology developed in Phase I. Mesdi will
license to OKME the right for exclusive use of the deposition tool technology
for manufacturing lithium-ion solid-state cells and batteries.

The deliverable of Phase II is a pilot-scale deposition system with installation
and validation at OKME’s facility. The deliverable includes training for
operation and maintenance, and materials with the properties demonstrated in
Phase I.

The time frame Phase II is August 19 2013– March 1 2014.

Scope:

 

The project will be carried out as follows:

(1) Tool development and construction

Using the prototype tool developed in Phase I as a reference, an automated
deposition system using Mesdi’s technology will be developed for OKME pilot
scale manufacturing of solid-state lithium-ion battery electrolyte films. The
cost for the tool will be established after the completion of Phase I, when OKME
and Mesdi agree on the tool specifications.

(2) Tool installation and validation

After completing system development, Mesdi will deliver and install the
pilot-scale deposition tool to OKME’s Melbourne, FL facility. After
installation, Mesdi will validate the tool, on-site at OKME.
