About Elevated Materials
Elevated Materials manufactures ultra-thin lithium films with thicknesses of less than 1 to 20 micrometers, designed to improve battery energy density, cycle life and charging rates. The manufacturing process is a roll-to-roll vacuum coating process, backed by decades of experience in thin-film materials engineering. Customer support ranges from research and development to gigawatt-hour-scale production. The films are used in various anode chemistries, including for optimizing silicon anodes, for lithium-metal anodes, and for enhancing graphite anodes. Served industries include automotive, aviation, energy storage and consumer electronics. The company was formed as a carve-out from Applied Materials after ten years of internal development and is a portfolio company of TPG Rise Climate. Headquarters and manufacturing site is Santa Clara, California, USA.
