Materials That Redefine Possibility

Get Started

Perovskite Tandems Enter Their Proving Ground

Perovskite-on-silicon tandems pair record efficiencies with increasingly robust encapsulation, passivation, and low-temperature manufacturing. Field pilots track thermal cycling, moisture ingress, and UV exposure, while roll-to-roll methods promise scalable, flexible formats. If we validate durability at utility scale, rooftops, façades, and lightweight structures could harvest more power with fewer materials and faster paybacks.

Catalysts That Make Green Molecules Affordable

Innovations in oxygen evolution and hydrogen evolution catalysts—leveraging nickel–iron oxides, doped perovskites, and ruthenium-sparing formulations—aim to cut electrolyzer costs while maintaining durability under fluctuating renewable loads. By tolerating impurities, dynamic setpoints, and frequent start–stop cycles, these catalysts bring green hydrogen closer to cost parity for ammonia, steel, shipping, and seasonal storage.

Wind Blades and Coatings Built for Tough Weather

Erosion-resistant leading-edge coatings, recyclable thermoplastic resins, and bio-based fiber reinforcements are transforming blade lifetimes while improving end-of-life options. Field data from offshore arrays show reduced downtime during salt spray seasons. Extending service intervals and enabling recycling can lower levelized costs, strengthen supply chains, and accelerate responsible repowering without leaving communities with stranded materials.

Storage That Stretches Every Ray and Gust

Storage is evolving from a simple battery box into a portfolio of options balancing seconds, hours, and seasons. The right mix strengthens reliability, absorbs surpluses, and reshapes demand. Pair that flexibility with software coordination and markets that value services properly, and we unlock cleaner baseload, resilient microgrids, and efficient transmission utilization at scale.

Grid-Forming Inverters Provide Synthetic Strength

Next-generation inverters establish stable voltage and frequency references, contributing virtual inertia and fault response once delivered by spinning machines. Pilot islands and renewable plants demonstrate black-start capability and robust ride-through. Interoperable controls and updated protection schemes are crucial so fleets of diverse devices behave like a coordinated orchestra, not a crowd of soloists competing.

HVDC Corridors Connect Distant Strengths

High-voltage direct current lines move bulk power across long distances with lower losses, stitching together windy plains, sunny deserts, and hydropower reservoirs. Converter stations can stabilize weak grids and manage congestion. By enabling interregional sharing, HVDC reduces curtailment, lowers total reserves, and strengthens resilience, provided routing, permitting, and community benefits are addressed transparently.

Microgrids Bring Resilience to the Edge

Hospitals, campuses, and neighborhoods increasingly use solar, storage, smart controls, and islanding to keep critical loads powered. Thoughtful design prioritizes essential circuits, maintains power quality, and coordinates with utilities for safe transitions. When combined with demand flexibility, microgrids can support the broader system during stress while delivering day-to-day savings and community confidence.

From Lab Insight to Field-Proven Impact

Great ideas stall without demonstration, bankability, and trustworthy performance data. Translating breakthroughs into real assets requires testing protocols, staged pilots, and financing tailored to first-of-a-kind risk. Clear milestones, transparent results, and honest iteration help investors, communities, and regulators align around projects that earn confidence and deliver measurable climate and reliability benefits.

Pilots That Answer the Right Questions

Well-designed pilots focus on failure modes, operating envelopes, and integration challenges rather than flashy ribbon-cuttings. They test winter starts, hot-cycle endurance, and cyber-secure communications. Publishing good and bad findings accelerates learning for everyone. If you’ve run a pilot or want to design one, share your priorities so the community learns faster together.

Financing the First of a Kind

Blending concessional capital, loan guarantees, tax credits, and offtake agreements can cross the notorious valley of death. Insurance for performance, robust warranties, and thoughtful risk allocation make projects bankable. Transparent community benefits and skilled jobs build durable support. Entrepreneurs and funders: tell us what derisks your next step, and we will amplify practical playbooks.

Standards, Interoperability, and Trust

Certification for safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and cybersecurity nurtures confidence, while open protocols prevent lock-in and stranded assets. Shared data schemas enable apples-to-apples comparisons across pilots and regions. When suppliers, utilities, and researchers align on test methods, everyone moves faster. Contribute your preferred standards or case studies to help harmonize fragmented practices.

Recycling and Second Life as Strategic Tools

Process innovations recover lithium, cobalt, and copper with lower energy and higher yields, cutting dependency on virgin mining. Meanwhile, retired vehicle batteries can anchor stationary storage where power density is less critical. Standardized packs and traceable histories simplify sorting. Tell us which policies or business models would accelerate safe, profitable recovery in your region.

Critical Minerals, Substitution, and Fair Work

Material efficiency, substitution with abundant elements, and responsible sourcing can defuse geopolitical risk and improve worker protections. Certification schemes, community consent, and transparent contracts matter as much as chemistry. If you have supplier stories, audits, or substitution results, share them so buyers can reward responsible actors and accelerate market shifts toward better practices.
