  1. CrystalLyte Co., Ltd. CrystaILyte - patented methods allow creation of high-performance thin-film carbon nanomaterials products, including graphene, graphite, and nanodiamond for downstream developments. Because we use unlimited resources CO2 as the raw materials and room temperature process, we can do it at much lower cost with lower energy requirement and lower carbon footprints. Our products can be a game changer for longer driving range and safer EVs. We are now developing batteries parts for EVs with our industrial partners to enter the global rechargeable batteries market, which is projected to reach 150$ billion by 2030. Our paper is the first paper in the world to demonstrate that graphene and nanodiamond can be grown as a thin- film on a metal substrate at room temperature using carbon dioxide as the carbon source with only a small amount of electrical energy supplied (2AA batteries). CrystalLyte is seeking a series A funding (US$10 million) Company Profile: https://crystallyte.com
