Forge Nano and Group14 Advance U.S.-Made High-Performance Battery Cells with U.S. Material Supply Chain

Forge Nano and Group14 Technologies announced a collaboration to advance high-performance lithium-ion battery cells manufactured in the United States using a predominantly U.S.-based supply chain.
The partnership combines Group14's SCC55 silicon-carbon composite materials with Forge Nano's Atomic Armor ® Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) technology.
Forge Nano's Atomic Armor ® nanocoating applies ultra-thin protective layers around silicon particles to enhance durability, reduce side reactions, & improve cycle life.
The integrated technology aims to deliver higher energy density, faster charging speeds, & longer battery longevity compared to conventional graphite-based cells.
The collaboration targets commercialization for defense, aerospace, & energy storage applications while aligning with U.S. National Defense Authorization Act procurement requirements.
Forge Nano recently announced a merger with Archimedes Tech SPAC Partners II Co. (NASDAQ: ATII) prior to this partnership announcement.
Both companies aim to reduce dependence on foreign battery supply chains & strengthen the domestic U.S. battery ecosystem through scalable manufacturing.
