Group1

Group1 is an engineered materials company launched in 2021, based in the United States, that focuses on the commercialization of Potassium-ion batteries. The company is a trailblazer in this field, as they are the first to enable high-power and long-cycling Potassium-ion batteries, addressing the evolving energy storage needs of society.

Founded by the co-inventor of the lithium-ion battery and 2019 Chemistry Nobel laureate UT-Austin Professor JB Goodenough, Group1 is built on a solid foundation of technological innovation. They have been recognized for their potential, being named as one of Austin Inno's 2023 Top 23 Companies to Watch and receiving the title of Rice Alliance New Energy Venture Day 2023 Most Promising Company.

Group1 has received a $275.00K grant investment on 02 January 2024 from the NSF Small Business Innovation Research / Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR). Their groundbreaking work in Potassium-ion battery technology and engineered materials demonstrates their commitment to advancing energy storage capabilities beyond the conventional limits of Lithium-ion batteries.

By combining high-throughput synthesis and screening with machine learning-driven material informatics, Group1 aims to deliver world-class, commercial-scale materials. Their strategy not only expands beyond the limitations of Lithium-ion batteries but also builds on the best of Lithium-ion technologies, positioning them as a key player in the manufacturing and energy storage industries.
