Energy applications
Chitin-derived anodes
Carbonized chitin is a high-rate kinetics & capacity alternative for sodium-ion and lithium-ion systems. These anodes can be used for grid-scale storage, EV & e-mobility, telecom & industrial backup, and more.
Key properties and performance:
-
It can deliver reversible capacities up to 320–350 mAh/g in Na-ion full cells, matching or exceeding industry benchmarks for pitch and cellulose-derived hard carbons.
-
It retains 4–6 wt% active pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen directly from the raw shell matrix.
-
Pyrolysis yields a unique closed-pore network that supports high structural integrity over thousands of cycles.
-
Achieves carbon char yields of 35-45%, drastically outperforming cellulose-based precursors (<20%) for scalable, cost-effective industrial manufacturing.
Energetic material
Nitrochitin is a high-performance, drop-in replacement for nitrocellulose that redefines power and density with significantly lower hazard signatures.
Key properties and performance:
-
Nitrochitin delivers 12,541 J/g vs the 9,205 J/g standard of nitrocellulose.
-
At 1.711 g/cm³, nitrochitin allows for more energetic mass in smaller volumes.
-
Nitrochitin withstands 18J of impact force compared to the 3J threshold of nitrocellulose.
