Proven Samsung SDI cells today.
U.S. gigafactory production from 2028
Li-Ion Cells
No redesign.
No new chemistry.
Just hardened materials.
We don’t change the chemistry; we harden it. ALDˣ stabilizes the interfaces where battery failure starts, creating Atomic Armor™ at the material level. Unstable materials become controlled, durable systems ready for the field.
Designed for higher voltage tolerance, longer mission life and extreme conditions
CHALLANGES
The failure modes limiting Li-Ion cells
-
01
INTERFACE INSTABILITY
Unprotected cathode and anode surfaces react aggressively with electrolytes, driving impedance growth, capacity loss and early cell failure.
-
02
CHEMICAL DEGRADATION
High-voltage operation accelerates parasitic reactions, gas generation and transition metal dissolution, compromising safety and lifetime.
-
03
THERMAL & MECHANICAL STRESS
Repeated expansion, contraction and heat cycling fracture particle surfaces, exposing fresh reactive sites with every cycle.
-
04
SUPPLY CHAIN EXPOSURE
Critical battery materials and surface treatments rely on foreign-controlled processes, creating geopolitical risk, delays and production fragility.

UNIFORM NANO-BARRIERS
Battery failure often starts at the surface. Atomic Armor™ helps stabilize active materials at the atomic level, protecting the critical interfaces that determine performance, safety and yield.
Forge Nano’s platform is designed for durable battery materials and repeatable production, from the lab to the gigafactory.

RESHORING THE FUTURE OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE ENERGY
U.S. battery supply chains are fragile. Forge Nano is building part of the answer. Our planned 3 GWh gigafactory in Morrisville, North Carolina, is being built with operational and manufacturing support from Samsung SDI, which has also agreed, conditionally, to buy cells from the plant. Production is expected to begin in 2028, helping secure the batteries behind U.S. defense and critical infrastructure.

Proof In Action
Uncompromising mission endurance
CATHODE STABILIZATION
Slow chemical decay at the molecular level. Atomic Armor™ helps hold the cathode structure in a stable, low-reactivity state to reduce capacity loss during high-stress missions.
FASTER CHARGING
Ease the charging bottleneck. Our surface-engineered interfaces are designed to support faster ion flow, so cells can charge faster with less wear.
THERMAL HARDENING
Engineer safety into the chemistry, not just the pack. Atomic Armor™ adds a physical barrier designed to help suppress the triggers of thermal runaway, including in extreme heat.
Insight
Forge Battery delivers high-energy Li-ion cells. By integrating Atomic Armor™ at the particle level, we neutralize the chemical instability of high-nickel chemistries, unlocking performance.
