Problem
The increasing demand for graphite in battery manufacturing is creating a supply chain vulnerability, as over 80% of the world's advanced graphite is produced in China. Traditional graphite production methods, whether natural graphite mining or synthetic graphite production, involve environmentally destructive practices, hazardous chemical processing, high energy consumption, and significant CO2 emissions.
Solution
Homeostasis is developing a technology that converts CO2 emissions directly into high-purity graphite through a proprietary molten carbonate electrolysis process. This electrochemical reaction occurs at lower temperatures than conventional synthetic graphite production, reducing energy requirements and costs. The process uses CO2 from industrial sources as feedstock, producing graphite and oxygen as a byproduct. This approach aims to establish a domestic, sustainable graphite supply chain, reduce reliance on foreign sources, and transform a waste product into a valuable material for battery manufacturing and other applications.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes battery manufacturers, electronics companies, and industrial partners seeking a secure, domestic, and sustainable supply of high-quality graphite.
Features
- Patent-pending molten salt electrolysis technology for converting CO2 directly into graphite
- Operates at 650-800°C, significantly lower than the 2500-3000°C required for conventional synthetic graphite production
- Modular reactor design for scalable production
- Production of high-purity graphite with >90% graphitization and 99% purity after post-processing
- Eliminates the need for hydrofluoric acid and petroleum-derived feedstocks
- Potential for co-location with battery manufacturing facilities and industrial CO2 sources
