Batteries power everything from cellphones to medical devices to defense systems. In 2021, Ateios Systems licensed technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory to make battery manufacturing faster and cheaper—an innovation that now underpins the nation’s only domestic battery electrode supply chain, strengthening both economic and national security.
Ateios Systems has continued to build on ORNL’s initial innovation, establishing the nation’s only domestic supply chain for battery electrode manufacturing and expanding to fill commercial orders. By producing electrodes domestically, Ateios reduces reliance on foreign suppliers, ensuring critical components for both consumer electronics and defense remain secure and affordable.
