FaradPower, Inc.

Farad Power Inc. was founded to develop a new class of advanced carbon composite materials for energy storage devices with considerable functional improvements over the current generation of commercially available electrode materials for batteries and supercapacitors. The range of materials that have been synthesized using this technology include plain low surface-area hard carbons, carbon-silicon composites, pre-lithiated and pre-sodiated carbon-sulfur composites and plain and doped high surface area activated carbons. The company's products are well positioned at the intersection of nano-technology and clean-technology.
