Nanoramic Laboratories develops advanced energy storage solutions, specializing in innovative battery technology. Founded in 2009 by MIT PhDs, the company has established itself as a significant contributor to sustainable battery manufacturing through its proprietary Neocarbonix® electrode technology. This technology enhances battery performance while eliminating harmful materials traditionally used in production. The company’s solutions serve various sectors, including electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and industrial applications, offering improved energy density, faster charging capabilities, and reduced environmental impact.
Battery Technology
Neocarbonix® technology represents Nanoramic’s primary innovation in battery manufacturing. This PFAS-free solution replaces conventional binders in battery electrodes with a unique 3D nano-carbon binding structure. The technology delivers substantial improvements in multiple areas:
- Up to 27% reduction in cell costs through thicker electrode design
- 30% increase in energy density and duration
- Fast charging capability reaching 80% in under 15 minutes
- 25% reduction in carbon footprint during production
- Enhanced recyclability through eco-friendly materials
The technology eliminates the need for toxic materials like N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) solvent and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), making battery production safer and more sustainable. Neocarbonix® is compatible with existing manufacturing processes and can be integrated into current production lines without significant modifications.
Recent Projects
In 2024, Nanoramic secured $44 million in funding to accelerate the commercialization of its Neocarbonix technology. The investment supports expanding production capabilities and advancing research and development initiatives. The company also established a new 40,000-square-foot facility in Woburn, Massachusetts, housing executive offices, administrative functions, and specialized R&D laboratories. Additionally, Nanoramic formed a strategic partnership with E-Lyte Innovations to develop customized electrolytes optimizing Neocarbonix performance in innovative cell systems.
Investors
Nanoramic’s recent $44 million funding round was co-led by GM Ventures and Catalus Capital, with participation from several prominent investors:
- Samsung Ventures
- Top Material
- Fortistar
- WindSail Capital Group
The company has also received previous funding from government agencies, including NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense.
