CENS Materials

CENS Materials is a company dedicated to revolutionizing the energy sector with its pioneering work in advanced nanostructured materials. Founded in 2013, the company focuses on creating highly efficient power sources through the development of new, advanced materials using a unique process for creating nano-clusters of particles. Their main focus is on improving anodes for lithium-ion rechargeable batteries and electrodes for super-capacitors. One of the key technologies developed by CENS Materials is the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly on the surface of particles. This process significantly enhances electrical conductivity, thermal transport, and reaction efficiency in the materials. The addition of CNTs to electrodes not only boosts electric conductivity but also helps mitigate volumetric changes typically experienced by Li-ion batteries during use. This innovative approach allows for significantly greater utilization of CNT properties, resulting in enhanced power and energy by forming an efficient nanostructured network with various electrode materials. In terms of funding, the company received a €71.43K grant investment on 01 August 2018 from EASME - EU Executive Agency for SMEs. This investment serves as a testament to the potential and promise that CENS Materials holds in the energy, manufacturing, energy storage, and automotive industries. With their focus on advanced materials and energy efficiency, CENS Materials is poised to make a significant impact in the future of energy and power generation.
