Derrick Maxwell, PhD
CEO
Derrick Maxwell is an expert in energy storage, utilization, and generation with a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Northeastern University. He has over 10 years of experience spanning lithium-ion battery, supercapacitor, hydrogen fuel cell, water electrolysis, and photovoltaic technologies. Derrick spent 5 years at A123 Systems where he developed novel binders for silicon anodes, cathode active materials, and scaled their related slurry mixing and electrode coating processes through the pilot level. He is a published author and inventor on over 10 academic articles and patents. Derrick is also a graduate of the Gordon Institute of Engineering Leadership with training in engineering management and product development.
"Removing harmful solvents and forever chemicals from lithium-ion battery production around the world will reduce manufacturing costs, improve worker safety, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I'd like the future state of the world to judge the value of the technology we are developing today."
