Problem
Many regions globally lack access to clean water due to pollution. Traditional methods of discovering and developing photocatalysts for water treatment are time-consuming and expensive, hindering efforts to provide affordable and sustainable water purification solutions.
Solution
Xatoms uses artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum chemistry to accelerate the discovery and development of novel photocatalytic molecules for water purification. Their technology accurately predicts 3D models of photocatalytic structures, significantly reducing the time and resources required for traditional trial-and-error experimentation. The company identifies specific water pollutants and then uses AI algorithms to rapidly identify and validate potential photocatalytic molecules. These molecules are then synthesized into a powder form that can purify water using sunlight, breaking down a wide range of harmful contaminants.
Target Audience
Xatoms primarily targets organizations and communities in regions with limited access to clean water, as well as research partners and investors interested in sustainable water solutions.
Features
- AI-driven identification and validation of photocatalytic molecules.
- Quantum chemistry simulations to design and synthesize photocatalyst materials tailored to target specific pollutants.
- Photocatalyst powder capable of purifying water using sunlight.
