Why GraphEnergy?

Enabling faster charging, longer lasting, and higher capacity lithium batteries

GraphEnergy leverages the proven properties of graphene including its conductivity, strength, and electronic behavior to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries. 

2x Battery Cycle Life

Extend battery lifespan without compromising performance.

Faster Charging

Improves Rate Capability by over 50%.

Extends Temperature Range

Demonstrated improved performance up to 60 °C.
Unlock more power from every cell.

High Quality Graphene

Harnessing the power of Graphene

We create Graphene Encapsulated Nanoparticles (GEN) using a high efficiency low temperature Microwave Plasma process which deposits high quality graphene onto a wide range of substrates and seamlessly scales to mass production.  

Our unique patented process cleans the substrate, promoting electronic grated graphene synthesis while simultaneously permitting in-site surface functionalization.

Add to your existing workflow

Compatible with existing battery chemistries and manufacturing processes

Our additive works with your existing workflow. Adding only ≤ 1% by weight of Graphene Enhanced Nanoparticles (GEN) to conventional CAM during slurry preparation greatly improves cycle life, charging rate capability, and working capacity.

Compatible with Existing Battery Factory Production Work Flow

Applicable to Both Existing Cathode Materials and Adaptable to Next Generation (NG-CAM) Battery Chemistries

Supress Transition Metal Dissolution

Prevents Battery Degradation

Manganese rich, Low Cobalt Cathode Active Materials (CAM) have high intrinsic capacity >1000wh/kg, but suffer from Transition Metal Dissolution (TMD) which limits performance and reduces cycle life. By adding our Graphene Encapsulated Nanoparticles (GEN) to existing Cathode materials we significantly mitigate TMD and battery degradation by reducing the effects of side reactions.
