Nyobolt says its lithium-ion batteries offer ultrafast charge capabilities.

Nyobolt, a UK start-up developing a lithium-​ion battery with tungsten and niobium in the anode, has sold a 15% stake to H.C. Starck Tungsten Powders, part of Masan High-Tech Materials, for $54 million. Nyobolt was cofounded by University of Cambridge chemist Clare Grey.
