About

Founded in 2020, Pure Lithium is a private headquartered in Chicago, United States specializing in Energy Storage.

Pure Lithium is a battery technology company founded by Emilie Bodoin that specializes in lithium metal batteries and vertically integrated lithium metal anode production. The company's patented technology eliminates traditional lithium compound production and co-locates manufacturing of lithium metal anodes with battery assembly to reduce costs and transportation emissions. Its Gen-1 Lithium Iron Phosphate battery delivers twice the energy density of conventional LFP with 6,500 cycles, while Gen-2 vanadium batteries offer 42% higher energy density with enhanced thermal stability. The company's batteries are graphite, nickel, cobalt, and manganese-free, supporting global battery manufacturing independence. Pure Lithium has received U.S. Department of Energy funding, a $300 million Letter of Interest from the Export-Import Bank for facility construction, and multiple international patents. The company won the 2025 Green Chemistry Challenge Award and relocated its headquarters to Chicago in 2025.
