Hard carbon (HC)

Catasol 400 series

UP Catalyst Hard Carbon (HC) is a special type of carbon produced out of biomass waste – an organic material with a carbon-rich structure. Reduced carbon footprint, high purity, and ultra-microporosity distinguish our lignin-derived hard carbon from the market. 

AVAILABLE IN

Powder

Catasol A400

Non-graphitizable carbon in powder format.

Dispersion

Powder

Catasol F400

H₂O or organic DHLG (dihydrolevoglucosenone) dispersion with concentration ranging from 1 to 3% w/w.

Catasol A400

Non-graphitizable carbon in powder format.

Applications

Batteries
Saltwater desalination
Polymer coatings
Water purification
Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology
Batteries

Hard carbon improves ionic flow and provides higher power density in batteries.

Saltwater desalination

The use of hard carbon improves desalination of high-saline water due to its ability to repel ions. Nanometer pores of NPBCs improve desalination performance and are effective in high-inflow solutions.

Polymer coatings

Hard carbon improves the conductive properties of paints and thus can be used in functionalized polymers and specialty coatings. Also can be used for electromagnetic shielding applications.

Water purification

Hard Carbon can effectively separate water from other substances by ultra-fast diffusion occurring in the pores.

Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology

Higher surface area of hard carbon allows to capture more CO₂ efficiently from the air

Benefits

Hard carbon stands out due to their high surface area and nanometer pores. It is a valuable component in the energy storage sector, especially in supercapacitors and sodium-ion batteries, where it is proven to enhance the battery capacity.
