XNO® is a niobium-based anode material for lithium-ion batteries, enabling full charge in under 10 minutes, high energy density across temperature ranges, and over 10,000 charge cycles. Its composition delivers a 51% reduction in global warming potential versus lithium titanate anodes. Manufactured in partnership with CBMM at a Brazil facility producing 2,000 tonnes annually (equivalent to 1 GWh of cells).
XNO® technology: niobium-based anode material with rapid charging (10,000-cycle lifespan, 51% lower GWP, available in volume through a Brazil manufacturing facility.
Inaugurated the world’s largest niobium-based anode production facility in Araxá, Brazil, in partnership with CBMM; deployment of XNO® materials in industrial applications including rail transport, off-road vehicles, and mining equipment.
Series B round in 2024 led by Volta Energy Technologies; other investors include CBMM, Business Growth Fund (BGF), Cambridge Enterprise Ventures, Parkwalk Advisors, and Barclays Sustainable Impact Capital.
