Project Summary / Description:

This project was formed during my (Anna Douglas) PhD, when I was studying materials for beyond Li-ion battery technologies and kept coming to the conclusion that advanced carbon structures are ideal for all battery chemistries, but their production method is incredibly energy intensive, expensive, and prohibitive to widespread use in batteries. This is how I started studying alternative ways to produce carbon structures using more sustainable techniques, and the ability to harness waste atmospheric carbon to produce carbon nanomaterials in an energy efficient way became the most attractive path to pursue.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

SkyNano makes economic and gender diversity a priority, not only because it‚ the right thing to do, but it‚ also a smarter way to build a company. The data unrefutably shows that diverse teams outperform their counterparts, so SkyNano has always made an effort to hire the most qualified team members overall, making skills a hiring priority rather than solely relying on things like academic institution that can bias economic diversity. SkyNano has both male and female founders and is a majority female-owned and operated company.
