PUREVAP™
NANO SILICON REACTOR (NSIR)
The PUREVAP™ Nanosilicon Reactor (NSiR) is an adaptation of the Quartz Reduction Reduction (QRR), which it relies on for feedstock to manufacture a range of nano spherical powders and wires ( from< 0.20 µm up to 5 µm).
The NSiR’s addressable markets — much like the QRR — are geared towards the renewable energy revolution. Nanosilicon revolutionizes battery technology critical to electric vehicles and battery storage while enabling cost-effective green hydrogen production.
THE NSiR PROCESS
The process begins with battery-grade feedstock from the QRR, which is placed into the Nanosilicon Reactor and undergoes a plasma-based transformation into nano-sized silicon, at which point it’s commercially ready.

COMPETITIVE EDGE
The NSiR — much like its mother technology, the QRR — develops silicon materials efficiently, cost-effectively, and sustainably.

GREEN HYDROGEN
Reacting nanosilicon powder with water produces twice the amount of green hydrogen relative to conventional hydrolysis techniques, achieving the lowest per-unit costs of green hydrogen on the market.
PUREVAP™ NSiR MARKET POTENTIALS
The NSiR manufactures a flexible range of enhanced nanomaterials capable of revolutionizing the battery and green hydrogen sectors to the benefit of global decarbonization efforts.
The NSiR produces nanosilicon materials of a variety of sizes, from < 0.20 µm up to 5 µm to meet diverse end-market needs.
5 µm
Incorporating nanomaterials into Li-ion battery anodes — rather than conventional graphite — boosts gravimetric capacity by 10x and volumetric capacity by 3x.
