Volexion shipped first product samples of its graphene-coated cathode active materials to Tier1 manufacturers worldwide, including automotive OEMs, global cell producers and U.S. specialty energy-storage developers. The company said its coating is a drop-in process designed to extend battery life, increase energy density and enable faster charging without factory retooling.

According to the release, the graphene encapsulation works across established and emerging chemistries such as NMC, LFP, lithium-manganese-rich, LMFP and LNMO. Early adopters across the supply chain are evaluating the material as Volexion partners on application and scale-up.

“[It’s] a drop-in solution that extends life, boosts performance, and enables next-generation chemistries without costly retooling,” said Joseph X. Adiletta, CEO of Volexion. The company said it uses commercially available equipment to streamline manufacturing scale-up.
