We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the journey of our graphene-based material for energy storage, a breakthrough initially developed by CATRIN team. This innovative material, designed for supercapacitors and offering an alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries, is now stepping closer to commercialization through our newly established spin-out, ATOMIVER.
🔬 Seven years ago, our researchers in Olomouc crafted an electrode material from nitrogen-enriched graphene. This material’s potential for electrical energy storage, particularly in supercapacitors, has been extensively validated, marking it as a game-changer in the field. The journey continued with the development of a prototype device showcasing unique properties under the prestigious TRANS2DCHEM project (associated with Graphene Flagship), supported by the European Innovation Council (EIC) and in collaboration with Bar-Ilan University and Itelcond.
🌍 As the demand for efficient and stable energy solutions grows globally, Atomiver is now poised to scale up production of nitrogen-doped graphene without compromising its stellar quality. Our goal? To integrate this advanced material into supercapacitors tailored for critical applications across data centers, IoT networks, transportation systems, and more.
🔋 In the lab, our supercapacitors have demonstrated a energy density of up to 200 Wh/L, with performance potential of power density reaching an extraordinary 52 kW/L. This capability significantly surpasses existing technologies and could revolutionize energy storage as we know it.
💡 Under a new licensing agreement with Palacký University, Atomiver will utilize university know-how to transform this cutting-edge technology into market-ready solutions. This collaboration highlights the importance of spin-outs in navigating the journey from research to market, bringing innovative ideas to life.
🤝 Led by CEO Andrew Hladký, Atomiver has already sparked considerable interest among commercial partners. With the support of the NATO DIANA acceleration programme and CzechInvest’s Technology Incubation program, we are eager to finalize our first investment round and establish a strong supply chain within the EU.
Stay tuned as we turn advanced research into real-world solutions, driving forward the future of energy storage: https://www.catrin.com/news/graphene-material-from-olomouc-moves-towards-market-via-atomiver-spin-out/
