Y-Carbon Inc is a nanomaterials company that is developing a family of high-performance porous carbon materials. They have obtained both broad and exclusive rights from Drexel University to intellectual property related to tunable nanoporous carbon, a high-precision nano-porous material with high specific surface area. The ability to tailor the properties of porous carbon material is unique to Y-Carbon technology and thus provides a quantum leap in performance in many applications such as supercapacitors, gas (hydrogen, methane and chlorine) storage, protein filtration, water purification, fuel cell catalysts, etc. With the technology platform that has been developed, Y-Carbon applications have enormous business opportunities in the fields of energy, water and medicine.
