Valparaiso, Chile

T-Phite is pioneering sustainable battery materials by converting waste from end-of-life tires into high-value hard carbon for lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors. Our patented technology enables a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional carbon sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels while enhancing battery performance. We are currently at TRL 5, optimizing our material for lithium-ion applications and expanding research into sodium-ion batteries and supercapacitors. Our next milestone is building a pilot plant to scale production and validate our material with battery manufacturers. T-Phite’s core business model is a technology licensing strategy, allowing large-scale battery producers to integrate our sustainable carbon into their supply chains. Additionally, we are establishing strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Goodyear and key players in the energy storage sector.
