Cerebral Energy’s core technology is the AGILE lithium-free secondary battery system, which uses recycled aluminum and graphene from U.S. waste. Developed with Cornell University, it offers higher efficiency than lithium-ion. Their solid-state batteries improve power efficiency and safety for Low Earth Orbit satellites, reducing weight by over 40% and eliminating dendrite-driven thermal runaway. They also hold exclusive rights to UC Riverside’s Graphitizer technology for converting low-grade carbon waste into synthetic graphite and use an aqueous recycling process with 95% efficiency to recover lithium, rare earths, and other critical metals from spent batteries and e-waste.
The flagship AGILE battery system is a lithium-free secondary battery featuring recycled aluminum and graphene, solid-state chemistry, 40% weight reduction, superior energy storage, and enhanced safety. They also offer the Graphitizer system for synthetic graphite production from carbon waste and an aqueous recycling process for critical metal recovery.
Secured a $1.6 million Phase II STTR contract from AFWERX (U.S. Air Force research group) to develop AGILE batteries for tactical power requirements of Air Force Special Operations Command.
