About
Forge Nano makes atomic layer deposition coating equipment and lithium-ion cells whose electrode materials carry its Atomic Armor coatings.
The coatings form thin barrier layers on cathode and anode particles to cut reactions with the electrolyte, which the company says supports higher voltage, faster charging and longer life, notably in high-nickel chemistries. Forge Nano also sells powder ALD systems for battery and other materials, and wafer coating tools such as TEPHRA for semiconductor production.
Forge Nano has sites in Thornton, Colorado, and Morrisville, North Carolina, where its 3 GWh lithium-ion cell gigafactory is backed by a $100 million US Department of Energy grant.
