Materials
Every HCNO grade is produced to a formal structural specification — shell count, hollow volume, surface chemistry, and dopant placement controlled for the target device category.
Product Family
| Grade | Application | Primary storage mechanisms | Target devices |
|---|---|---|---|
| HCNO-L1 | Lithium-Ion Capacitors | Intercalation + surface adsorption | LIC cells, hybrid supercapacitors |
| HCNO-S1 | Supercapacitors | Surface adsorption | EDLC supercapacitors, power buffers |
| HCNO-A1 | Li-Ion Battery Anodes | Intercalation + void buffering | Silicon-composite Li-ion cells |
| HCNO-N1 | Na-Ion Battery Anodes | Intercalation + internal storage | Na-ion batteries |
| HCNO-K1 | K-Ion Battery Anodes | Intercalation + internal storage | K-ion batteries |
| HCNO-F1 | PEM Fuel-Cell Catalyst Supports | Surface adsorption (catalyst dispersion) | PEM fuel cells, hydrogen electrodes |
Tessera Materials is 2–3 years from first commercial product release. Technical briefings and grade specifications are available to qualified partners under NDA in the meantime.
Grades
Designed for lithium-ion capacitors, where high energy density and high power delivery must coexist in a single cell. The combination of intercalation between shells and surface adsorption on the outer shell gives HCNO-L1 the dual-mode storage profile LIC architectures require.
Optimized for electrochemical double-layer capacitors, where surface area and ion accessibility determine performance. The spherical HCNO geometry maximizes accessible surface while avoiding the stacking and pore-blocking that limits flat carbon electrodes.
A silicon-anode host architecture for next-generation lithium-ion cells. The hollow core and void-buffering mechanism absorb the volumetric expansion that causes conventional silicon-composite anodes to crack and degrade over cycling.
Engineered with expanded interlayer spacing to accommodate sodium ions — which graphite cannot host at meaningful capacity. HCNO-N1 enables sodium-ion battery anodes with cycle performance competitive with lithium-ion alternatives.
Tuned for potassium-ion chemistries, where ion size and intercalation kinetics present challenges graphite cannot meet. HCNO-K1's hollow core and engineered interlayer geometry provide the storage volume and structural compliance K-ion anodes require.
A high-surface-area, corrosion-resistant carbon support for platinum and platinum-group-metal catalysts in PEM fuel cells. The HCNO's spherical morphology promotes uniform catalyst dispersion and electrochemical stability under cycling conditions.
