Business Description


We have developed a process to manufacture metallic nanopowders with end-use application focused on the chemical sector. Our products are used on a stand-alone basis, in the validation of our nano-iron catalysts coated onto commercial iron catalysts used in the production of ammonia. Our major activities to date have included capital formation, research and development, marketing and commercial validation of our metallic nanopowder products.

Our high value, end use applications in the chemicals sectors emanate from our award winning, patented, nanocatalyst manufacturing platform technology. Our platform technology allows us to manufacture, in an automated manner, highly uniform, 99.99% pure, narrowly distributed, nano-particles with high catalytic activity. We view ourselves as a products company, rather than an advanced materials company, with the products we distribute being made possible through our leading edge platform technology.

We spent the first several years following our inception, along with $15 million of the $30+ million in investment capital procured to date, designing, fabricating, testing, refining, improving, automating, and scaling our closed-loop, proprietary nanocatalyst manufacturing platform technology. In terms of the production of advanced nanocatalyst materials, we have progressed from a few grams per day to capacity of 300 kilograms per month in our existing manufacturing facility. This is essential as scale is required with the ammonia application we are pursuing today and other end use applications in the future (e.g., light olefins and methanol).

A nanometer (nm) is one billionth of a meter, or 1,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, or roughly the size of a marble when compared to the earth. QSI catalysts typically measure 20-50 nm in size with a very narrow particle size distribution, and have surface area of up to 100 meters square per gram, roughly covering the size of a soccer field with just a small amount of material. A catalyst is a material that helps facilitate chemical reactions and can make chemical reactions happen more efficiently. The greater the surface area of the catalyst, the more efficient the chemical reaction, resulting in lower cost, higher performance end-use applications (e.g., chemical synthesis).

Our advanced catalysts have superior properties including their spherical shape, controlled oxide layer, narrow particle size distribution, high purity, low agglomeration, and large surface area. We believe these combined physical characteristics translate into greater efficiency in the generation, storage, and use of energy. Leveraging our patented, automated, highly scalable, and environmentally safe nanocatalyst manufacturing process, we manufacture a number of high-quality metals, bi-metallic alloys, and catalysts at the nano-scale including iron, silver, copper, nickel, manganese, and cobalt. We also offer custom dispersions and several specialty metals and catalysts including gold, palladium, aluminum, and tin.

Presently, we have sixteen dedicated gas phase condensation reactors which we utilize in the manufacture of nanocatalysts. With sixteen reactors, our capacity is approximately 300 kilograms per month (the foregoing is based on nano-iron production utilizing three production shifts, and the overall monthly kilogram production will depend on the catalysts being produced given varying production rates among catalysts we manufacture). Given the manner in which we have designed our production reactors, we are able to quickly scale and adjust production runs to satisfy our customers’ advanced material needs and delivery timelines. In addition, we leverage our technical knowledge and process chemistry expertise to offer custom dispersions, alloys and integrated catalytic solutions for the energy storage and chemical sectors.
