Beam Global, a provider of sustainable infrastructure solutions, has been granted a new patent by the US Patent Office for its Phase Change Composite (PCC) material for Lithium-ion batteries. The Smart PCC material acts as a thermal switch, insulating the battery when cold and cooling it when hot, making Beam's batteries more robust for extreme environments. This innovation enhances the durability of Beam's batteries in various climates.
Beam Global (Nasdaq: BEEM), a leading provider of sustainable infrastructure solutions, has been granted a new patent by the U.S. Patent Office for its Phase Change Composite (PCC) material for Lithium-ion batteries. The patent, titled "Smart Phase Change Composite for Passive Thermal Management" (US 12,422,195), represents a significant advancement in thermal management for lithium-ion batteries.
The Smart PCC material functions as a thermal switch that adapts to environmental conditions, providing insulation when cold and cooling when hot. This innovation addresses a critical challenge in battery technology: maintaining consistent performance across extreme temperature ranges. Conventional batteries typically struggle in extreme cold, reducing capacity, or in extreme heat, risking thermal runaway.
Beam Global's patented technology creates a self-regulating thermal environment, enhancing battery safety, reliability, and longevity. The Smart PCC material is already implemented in various applications, including drones, robots, medical devices, electric vehicles, and government systems, offering improved battery performance in diverse climates.
The strategic value of this patent extends beyond technical performance. By developing proprietary technology that improves battery performance, safety, and longevity, Beam Global is positioning itself advantageously in multiple high-growth markets, including electric mobility, defense applications, and renewable energy storage systems. The patent also creates meaningful competitive barriers to entry in the energy storage solutions market, protecting Beam's intellectual property.
Desmond Wheatley, CEO of Beam Global, stated, "This new patent covers our latest, innovative thermal management technology which makes our battery solutions more dynamic and capable of addressing a wide range of customer requirements. These energy storage solutions make our own products more robust and efficient, while also meeting the growing customer demand for intelligent battery technologies that our patents protect."
Beam Global's battery solutions are currently powering a wide range of applications, from drones and robots to electric vehicles and government systems. The company's operations span the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, with facilities in San Diego, CA; Broadview, IL; Belgrade and Kraljevo, Serbia; and Abu Dhabi, UAE.
This patent adds substantial value to Beam's intellectual property portfolio, directly enhancing its existing product portfolio while opening new revenue channels through potential licensing opportunities. With applications already spanning various industries, this technology broadens Beam's addressable market in the rapidly expanding battery technology sector.
