NiCAT develops machine‑learning‑guided high‑nickel, low‑cobalt cathode materials for lithium batteries. It supplies NMC (622/811), NCA and nickel hydroxide formulations for EVs, marine and grid storage, with pilot-scale production support.
NiCAT develops custom high-nickel, low-cobalt cathode active materials engineered for higher specific capacity, faster charge rates, and improved cycle life. The technology uses machine learning and automated reactor control in a digital reactor farm and a pilot line (~3 metric tons annual capacity) to accelerate iterative synthesis and optimize composition, tap density and particle morphology. Techniques include surfactant-assisted synthesis and real-time parameter control to raise consistency and reduce impurities. Reduced cobalt content lowers supply-chain and ESG exposure while nickel-rich chemistries increase energy density for automotive and stationary uses.
NiCAT supplies tailored cathode materials including NMC formulations (622, 811), NCA, and custom nickel hydroxide for NiMH/NiZn/NiCd cells. Products are specified for higher tap density, faster charge rates, and extended cycle life. Typical applications include passenger and commercial EVs, heavy equipment, maritime batteries, and grid or domestic energy storage. Materials are delivered as development samples and pilot-scale batches to support cell validation and scale-up.
NiCAT has raised early-stage funding through seed rounds and convertible instruments. Institutional and angel backers and participants include Keiretsu Forum, Sente Ventures, Alesta Yatırım, YEO, KT Portföy, Hatcher, BVA, and individual investors such as Figen Korun. The company also maintains strategic partnerships with industry organizations and manufacturers to support commercialization and market access.
