Indian Firm Scales Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Production for Batteries and Chips

NoPo Nanotechnologies, a Bengaluru‑based startup, has launched a pilot line and is constructing what it calls the world’s second‑largest single‑walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) plant, the first of its kind in South Asia. Leveraging a HiPco process with control over more than 200 production parameters, the company can consistently produce 0.8 nm SWCNTs and separate them by diameter and chirality for semiconductor and battery customers. After raising $3 million in a pre‑Series A round, NoPo is preparing a Series A to fund the larger facility and expand into water‑purification membranes. Its focus on ready‑to‑use dispersions aims to accelerate adoption in advanced batteries, chips, and other high‑performance materials.
