Saying goodbye to harmful ‘forever chemicals’ in battery tech
A company is developing a new way to make batteries without harmful substances.
In our tech-driven world, batteries are the unsung heroes powering everything from your smartphone to electric cars. But here's the catch: Traditional battery manufacturing can be pretty harsh on the environment and our health due to those problematic "forever chemicals" called PFAS.
These chemicals sneak into countless everyday products and have even made their way into the bloodstream of most Americans, bringing along a host of health concerns.
That's where Ateios Systems comes in. Based in Newberry, Indiana, this innovative company is shaking things up by developing a new way to make batteries without these harmful substances.

The impact of RaiCure technology
The company's proprietary RaiCure Technology, developed in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, replaces traditional high-temperature curing with a radiation-based process using energy-curable polymers. This method not only enhances battery performance but also significantly reduces environmental impact.
By focusing on improving the manufacturing process rather than creating entirely new battery chemistry, Ateios is able to quickly adapt its technology for a wide range of applications, from small electronics to potentially even electric vehicles.
