HeXalayer is an advanced material R&D and manufacturing start-up organized around scaling the production of the firm's patent-pending new type of Graphene material. Representing a new material for Li-ion batteries offering improved capacity with less weight, the firm's development is anchored with work undertaken at University of Louisville by the principals - Mother and son - and licensed to Hexalyer. Materials used have been extensively studied along with reproducible methods of synthesizing. That effort has been integrated into prototype battery cells, with extensive prototype testing confirming reproducibility of the battery performance.
