HighT-Tech, Inc. is commercializing unique products made via an electrified, ultrafast, high-temperature shock (UHS) synthesis process, which enables the manufacture of non-equilibrium materials to decarbonize the chemical, heavy industrial, and specialty products markets. These materials can be deployed across a variety of applications, from the production of industrial catalysts, to battery and electrolyzer membranes, to high-temperature barrier coatings for spacecraft.
The venture capital-backed technology company spun out the University of Maryland, College Park and Johns Hopkins University in 2018. As of July 2024, the company had raised more than $12 million in federal and private funding.
