Mission Wildcat Discovery Technologies is a start-up materials R&D company located in San Diego, California. Wildcat is focused on the discovery of advanced materials for lithium-ion batteries, with secondary work on a variety of other applications. Wildcat scientists use proprietary state-of-the-art high throughput technology to synthesize and test thousands of battery materials, each fully formulated and tested in actual cells. Wildcat collaborates with industry leaders around the world to develop promising new materials for new and promising rechargeable and primary battery technologies.
Description Wildcat Discovery Technologies accelerates the discovery of new materials for energy applications, with a focus on the development of advanced materials for rechargeable and primary batteries. Wildcat’s business also includes collaborative development projects for materials for other applications, including gas storage, carbon capture, thermoelectrics, and structural materials.
Wildcat synthesizes and evaluates thousands of materials every week. To do this, we use proprietary unique-in-the-world high throughput synthesis and testing platforms to rapidly explore thousands of new materials with the goal of improving performance and reducing costs.
Our massively parallel combinatorial chemistry approach reduces R&D costs and speeds time to market. The reduction in experimental cost also enables exploration of high risk targets that are often never explored. For example, one battery project involved the exploration of over 1000 unique electrolyte formulations in less than three months.
Wildcat employs an experienced team of scientists and engineers, with backgrounds in batteries, materials development, and high throughput automation. We also have a world class scientific advisory board.
Wildcat is pursuing partnership and collaboration opportunities with corporate leaders throughout the battery supply chain, including global material suppliers, cell makers, and OEM’s throughout the automotive, electronics, medical, military, and consumer products industries.
