Elementium Materials, Inc., founded in 2024 and headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts, is a cutting-edge energy storage company dedicated to advancing battery technology through its proprietary electrolyte solutions. Leveraging MIT-licensed research, Elementium develops ultra-stable, nonflammable electrolytes designed to enhance battery performance, safety, and longevity across multiple industries. The company’s mission centers on enabling a sustainable electrified society by addressing critical challenges in energy storage, such as limited battery lifespan, high costs, and safety risks. Its electrolyte platform supports applications ranging from electric vehicles (EVs) and grid storage to consumer electronics and industrial equipment.
Key benefits include higher energy density (targeting 500 Wh/kg), faster charging, reduced material degradation, and lower costs compared to traditional batteries. Elementium emphasizes domestic production, emphasizing supply chain resilience and scalability while prioritizing recyclability and sustainable material use to meet global energy transition demands.
Battery Technology
Elementium’s core innovation is its advanced electrochemically stable electrolyte formulations. These materials are engineered to enhance ion transport efficiency, enabling batteries to achieve higher voltage operation, faster charging, and extended cycle life without compromising safety. The electrolytes are nonflammable, reducing fire risks commonly associated with lithium-ion batteries, and are recyclable to minimize environmental impact.
The technology is compatible with existing and emerging electrode materials, including silicon anodes, nickel-rich cathodes, and manganese-rich cathodes. This adaptability addresses degradation issues caused by material expansion or chemical instability. By improving energy density and reducing waste, Elementium’s electrolytes enable batteries to store more energy per unit volume, extending range for EVs and storage capacity for grid solutions while lowering production costs through optimized material usage.
A key focus is addressing corrosion and gas evolution, which accelerate battery degradation. Elementium’s electrolytes mitigate these issues, leading to longer calendar life—a critical factor in industrial and automotive applications. Additionally, the technology is designed for domestically scalable manufacturing, reducing reliance on foreign supply chains and aligning with regional sustainability goals.
Recent Projects
In April 2025, Elementium partnered with NEO Battery Materials to integrate its electrolytes into a silicon battery platform for high-demand sectors like aerospace, drones, and industrial power tools. This collaboration aims to deliver lighter, higher-performance batteries suited for precision applications.
Earlier in 2025, the company signed a Letter of Intent with Indian chemical producer Anupam Rasayan India Ltd. to co-develop advanced battery chemicals. This multi-year project, projected to reach $350–450 million in value by fiscal year 2026, focuses on scaling Elementium’s electrolyte production to support large-scale battery manufacturing in emerging markets.
Investors
Elementium’s early development was funded through a $3 million investment from Greentown Labs, a cleantech incubator, during its accelerator phase. No additional investors or funding rounds were disclosed as of 2025.
