Advanced battery materials for high-performance applications

Meet your performance goals with premium battery materials, sourced for 45X compliance and engineered for high power and long cycle life.

Refining battery materials perform better than new

With our patented Hydro-to-Cathode® direct cathode precursor (pCAM) synthesis process, our battery materials can outperform traditional materials made with newly mined and refined metals. In a recent study, battery cells made with our upcycled pCAM exhibited over 50% longer cycle life than traditionally made cells, and power capacity was increased by 88%.
