Nascent Materials, a startup focusing on lithium-ion cathode manufacturing, secures $2.3 million in seed funding led by SOSV.
The company aims to revolutionize cathode production by utilizing a proprietary method that eliminates precursor cathode active material, reducing costs and energy consumption.
Nascent Materials is currently setting up a bench-scale manufacturing line for producing cathode materials and has begun sending samples to potential U.S.-based customers.
The company's CEO emphasizes the importance of reliable cathode materials for U.S. cell manufacturing and aims to establish a domestic supply chain alternative to China.
