Ateios Systems Closes $7.25M Series A to Scale Next-Generation Battery Electrode Manufacturing
The Energy Cure Production Platform
Traditional battery manufacturing methods face mounting environmental and economic challenges. With our groundbreaking Raicure™ technology, Ateios tackles the limitations of traditional thermal curing, unlocking a new era of efficiency, sustainability, and performance in battery manufacturing.

The Problem
Traditional battery manufacturing relies on energy intensive and inefficient thermal curing of electrodes.
High Costs: Due to using expensive, toxic solvents ($5/L) and the energy ($8M in natural gas/year/line) to remove them.
Lower Yields:
Poor adhesion causes failure from the assembly process.
Limited Energy Densities: Difficult to coat over 100 microns due to poor mixing of high molecular weight polymers.
Environmental Concerns: 95% of batteries use polymers categorized as PFAs or forever chemicals and the use of toxic solvents generates ~93 lbs CO2/kWh.
The Solution
Ateios Systems’ revolutionary RaiCure™ Technology, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Lab, replaces heat curing with energy-curable polymers that improve the energy density, cost, yields, and environment for all types and sizes of batteries.
