Technology

A new way to make graphite.

Halo pioneers a novel route to synthesize graphitic materials from abundant, domestic hydrocarbon feedstocks — unlocking industrially-relevant volumes of premium graphite at a fraction of the cost.

The process

Feedstock to finished material.

STEP 1

Domestic feedstock

We start with abundant, domestically-sourced hydrocarbon feedstocks — decoupling supply from overseas mined and synthetic graphite.

STEP 2

Proprietary synthesis

Our process converts those feedstocks into high-purity graphite and hydrogen at significantly lower capital and operating cost than incumbent methods.

STEP 3

Premium products

We apply finishing steps or send our graphite to partners to transform into battery anode active material, nuclear-grade graphite, and graphitic additives.

Lower CapEx. Lower OpEx. Cost-parity with the world's incumbents.

Why it matters

There are excellent companies working to build a domestic supply of graphite — but process innovation is required to compete with the aggressive pricing of overseas incumbents.

Halo is partnering with companies throughout the graphite, battery, and nuclear supply chains to bring this technology to market.

Products

What we produce.

Battery anode material

Battery-grade graphite and post-processed anode active material for lithium-ion cells, competitive with overseas incumbents on both quality and cost.

Nuclear-grade graphite

High-purity graphite suitable for advanced reactors and TRISO fuel compacts — a longer-term market where domestic supply is strategically critical.

Graphitic additives

Graphitic fillers that enhance the thermal, electronic, and mechanical properties of composites, lubricants, and EMI shielding products.
