HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (Vancouver, Canada), a sustainable commercial manufacturer of high-purity graphene, and battery materials and testing services company NEI Corp. (Somerset, N.J., U.S.), have announced the launch of Nanomyte FGA-1AD and Nanomyte FGA-1ND, a new line of graphene dispersions designed for advanced coatings, energy storage and composite materials.
HydroGraph and NEI launched the strategic partnership in November 2024, with a shared mission to accelerate the development and commercialization of advanced graphene-enhanced battery materials. The resulting dispersions are said to integrate seamlessly into existing electrode slurries, replacing or supplementing traditional conductive carbons to enhance electrode performance. The outcome is improved electrical conductivity, enabling the development of better electrodes and expanding possibilities for high-performance energy storage solutions.
“Our collaboration with NEI Corp. has already resulted in our graphene materials being made available in a format familiar to the battery industry,” says Kjirstin Breure, CEO and president of HydroGraph. “These new dispersions aren’t just enabling customers to test and enhance battery performance; they are also setting the stage for broader graphene adoption across the energy storage sector.”
The two dispersions combine HydroGraph’s pristine fractal graphene technology with NEI’s extensive experience in battery materials. The result is a ready-to-use concentrate of high-purity graphene additive exhibiting 100% sp2 bonded carbon, in a turbostratic arrangement, and an average of six graphene layers per particle. This nanoscale structure is reported to enhance conductivity, improves rate capability and increases energy density.
FGA-1AD is a ready-to-use aqueous graphene dispersion and FGA-1ND is a ready-to-use NMP-based graphene dispersion. Both are designed to replace or supplement traditional conducting carbons in electrode slurries to enhance performance.
