NOVACIUM

Novacium, founded in July 2022, is a French R&D company dedicated to revolutionizing energy materials, with a specialization in silicon and hydrogen. Novacium is located in Solaize (Lyon area, France) on the Axel’One PPI site to develop its R&D.
Novacium is founded by 3 Ph.D engineers and supported by HPQ Silicon, a Canadian pioneer in green engineering of silica and silicon-based materials. Together, they produce green, high-purity, low-cost silicon perfectly suited to the battery industry while strengthening supply chain security across Europe and North America.
Novacium focus on a high performances Si based anode raw materials to replace a significant part of graphite in Li-ion batteries. The objective is to boost Li-ion capacity.
Novacium's second activity is hydrogen generation. Novacium is developing an autonomous hydrogen generation system for civil and military applications.

Developing innovative solutions from ex nihilo, then validating a proof of concept on a laboratory and industrial pilot scale.
Expert in the manufacture and processing of silicon-based materials.

Manufacturing processes for an advanced silicon-based anode material.

Development of innovative surface treatments to improve the performance of our anode material.

Production of 18650 batteries from our anode material with initial capacities of up to 4100 mAh. Excellent cycling performances: after 300 cycles, the capacity of 18650 batteries (made from our GEN3) is 3606mAh.

Technology: production of hydrogen from a fuel.
Development of an autonomous hydrogen generation system.
