4th State Energies

At 4th State Energies, we've achieved what the battery industry thought impossible: ultra-small nanoparticles that completely replace graphite in lithium-ion batteries, delivering 4-5 times the energy density while being 20-40% cheaper to produce. Our revolutionary plasma-created silicon material represents one of the most significant battery breakthroughs in decades. With 60-80% silicon by weight - one of the highest concentrations on the market - our ultra-small nanoparticles overcome the fundamental limitations that have plagued silicon batteries for decades. - Energy Density: 4-5 times greater than graphite - Cycle Life: 80% capacity retention after 500 cycles - Cost: 20-40% cheaper than graphite batteries - Environmental: 80% cleaner production - Manufacturing: 100% graphite-free, drop-in replacement - Energy Dominant: US based critical mineral secure Leadership Dr. Mark Hatch, CEO - Award-winning entrepreneur with 30 years of experience, and a former Green Beret who has raised tens of millions for tech startups. Dr. Pankaj Ghildiyal, CTO - PhD in Chemistry with expertise in nanomaterials and energy storage. 23+ academic papers. Featured in Wired and Wall Street Journal. Lead patent inventor. Dr. Lorenzo Mangolini, Founder - UC Riverside professor and internationally recognized expert in plasma synthesis with 60+ academic papers, multiple patents, and awards. Independently validated by NREL and national research institutions, demonstrating 3X to 4X energy density improvements. Our patented low-temperature plasma process operates at room temperature with low production costs. Targeting the $60 billion lithium-ion battery market, we completely replace graphite. While competitors add small amounts of silicon, our ultra-small nanoparticles unlock silicon's full potential. Backed by $1M+ in DOE and California Energy Commission grants, we're revolutionizing energy storage from drones to EVs to electronics.
