Nov 30, 2021 - Press-release -Aligned Carbon

Santa Clara, CA. — Aligned Carbon is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in the development of semiconducting pure, aligned carbon nanotubes. At core, the company has successfully achieved a critical breakthrough in the purification and removal of metallic carbon nanotubes through innovative electrical purification methods. This achievement serves as a guiding light for the company’s pursuit of optical purification and rapid scaling of production.

Carbon nanotubes, with their exceptional electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, have long been recognized as a game-changer in various verticals within the semiconductor industry and beyond. However, the presence of metallic carbon nanotubes within a batch of semiconducting nanotubes has posed a significant challenge in harnessing their full potential.

Aligned Carbon’s team of dedicated researchers and engineers has been working tirelessly to address this issue. Their cutting-edge electrical purification methods enable the selective removal of metallic carbon nanotubes from a mixture, leaving behind a high-purity semiconducting product. This breakthrough represents a major leap forward in the development and commercialization of carbon nanotube-based technologies.

This breakthrough also serves as a guide toward a desired optical purification approach at mass manufacturing scale. This milestone puts Aligned Carbon on the right path to realizing that vision and quickly accelerating to manufacturing scale.
