Portfolio
Working on
2D is a startup with a vision to make the wonder-material graphene affordable and easily accessible to everyone. Their unique technology and product offering significantly lowers the technical, cost, and scale barriers to working with graphene, catalyzing widespread adoption across industries.
Working on
Develops an innovative carbon capture technology to combat industrial CO2 emissions. The product, a CO2 Trap, captures carbon dioxide directly from factory flue gases or directly from the air (DAC), and convert it into a solid material that can replace cement in concrete production.
Working on:
Pioneering in developing potassium/sodium-sulfur (K/Na-S) batteries, offering a safer, more sustainable, and affordable alternative for grid-scale energy storage. Their batteries are made from earth-abundant and non-toxic materials, ensuring they are not only eco-friendly but also cost-efficient.
