What Angstron Materials Inc does

Angstron Materials Inc, operating as The Global Graphene Group (G3), is a U.S.-based manufacturer of graphene and two-dimensional (2D) nanostructured materials founded in 2007 and headquartered at 1240 McCook Avenue, Dayton, Ohio. The company produces single layer graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, graphene nano-intermediates, and graphene powder, and has built a downstream product portfolio that includes graphene-enabled silicon anodes, graphene-protected lithium metal electrodes, lithium-sulfur battery solutions, graphene-enabled cathodes, thermal management heat spreaders, corrosion-inhibiting paints and coatings, and the G3-Fireshield fire-resistant electrolyte. Angstron claims to be the first company to mass-produce single layer graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide at industrial scale, operating a facility with 200 metric tons per year of single layer graphene capacity that it characterizes as the largest globally, supported by a portfolio of over 300 patents including the first graphene patent ever granted.

The company's revenue model is built on direct enterprise sales of graphene materials and finished components, with pricing conducted via custom quote requests rather than published rates, reflecting the tailored, specification-driven nature of its products. It serves three horizontal customer segments—electronics (thermal management, conductive materials, emerging post-Moore computing applications), energy (battery and energy storage for EVs and grid), and environmental (corrosion protection, filtration, sensors)—using a direct field-sales motion and a "Get Your FREE Quotation" website contact flow. Battery products are channeled through wholly-owned subsidiary Honeycomb Battery Company, which completed a SPAC merger with Nasdaq-listed Nubia Brand International Corp. in April 2026 to access public capital markets. The company maintains external validation through LexisNexis Global Top 100 Innovator recognition and KnowMade IP Leader designation in solid-state batteries, and operates across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

The corporate strategy emphasizes capital markets access and vertical integration from raw graphene into finished battery and thermal management products. Disclosed equity funding totals approximately $10.7 million across rounds in 2015 ($5M) and 2016 ($5.7M), with the SPAC transaction representing the most significant capital structure event in the company's history. Leadership is anchored by co-founders Dr. Aruna Zhamu (President) and Bor Jang (Chairman of the Board), with Adam Quirk serving as COO. The combination of a long operating history, large patent portfolio, claimed scale advantage, and recent public-market listing positions the company for potential acceleration in commercial deployment of graphene-enhanced battery and thermal management products.
