Lithium-ion batteries were developed in the 1970's, reached commercial success in 1991, and have had an enormous impact on the daily lives of much of the world - from the way that we utilize tools, communication, computation, and travel. However, there is an urgent need to develop metal lithium-based anodes, so that the capacity of the batteries can be extended to impart much greater storage, which will allow for longer electric vehicle operation, better personal/wearable technologies, and the emergence and eventual adoption of electric aviation. Companies globally are working on developing safe lithium metal anodes (Tesla, Wina, Li Metal). The current challenge is the safety of these electrodes and the risk that they pose to the end user. The University of Toronto is applying to the NSERC Idea to Innovation Grant program (NSERC I2I) and has contacted Adventus Research + Consulting to request a proposal for completion of a market assessment to evaluate the commercial potential of a "Metallated Catechol Derivatives Useful for Lithium Electrodes", developed by Dr. Dwight Seferos at the University of Toronto.

锂离子电池于20世纪70年代开发，1991年取得商业成功，并对世界大部分地区的日常生活产生了巨大影响-从我们使用工具，通信，计算和旅行的方式。然而，迫切需要开发金属锂基阳极，以便电池的容量可以扩展到提供更大的存储，这将允许更长的电动汽车运行，更好的个人/可穿戴技术，以及电动航空的出现和最终采用。 全球的公司都在努力开发安全的锂金属阳极（特斯拉，Wina，Li Metal）。 目前的挑战是这些电极的安全性以及它们对最终用户造成的风险。多伦多大学正在申请NSERC创意创新资助计划（NSERC I2 I），并已联系Adventus Research + Consulting，要求完成一项市场评估提案，以评估多伦多大学德怀特Seferos博士开发的“用于锂电极的金属化儿茶酚衍生物”的商业潜力。
