NANOPTEK Corporation

NANOPTEK Corporation is a privately-held corporation based in Concord, Massachusetts. Founded in 2002, the company employs a team of five individuals. NANOPTEK Corporation develops and produces photoanodes and platforms designed for solar water-splitting. Their technology utilizes sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen without the need for external electrical power. The company's patented process involves etching nanostructures into commercially pure Grade 1 titanium foil. Subsequently, a titanium oxide (titania) film is grown onto and into these nanostructures via a thermal process. This unique process creates a highly strained titania film, optimizing its bandgap alignment with both the hydrogen evolution potential and the solar spectrum, thereby enhancing the efficiency of hydrogen production from water.
