Log 9 Materials Scientific

Log9 Materials was founded in 2015 at IIT Roorkee by Akshay Singhal, Kartik Hajela and Pankaj Sharma. Akshay and Kartik studied at IIT Roorkee, graduating from Materials Engineering, and Chemical Engineering respectively. Following which, Akshay did his PhD in Nanotechnology from IIT Roorkee and Kartik worked briefly at ITC. Pankaj is a seasoned deep tech entrepreneur in Nanotechnology and has founded two startups previously into Bio-Computational Drug Discovery and nanomaterial interventions for Brain Cancer Surgery. Log9 Materials is using its core competence in Graphene Nanotechnology to develop advanced energy storage technologies from electrode materials, cell to pack level. Our Rapid Charging Battery packs solve the challenges in adoption for the 2 wheeler (2W) and 3 wheeler (3W) electric vehicle platforms while our Aluminum Fuel Cell technology is targeted towards the electrification of long haul, heavier vehicles. Electrification of vehicles specially for commercial use ranging from 2W and 3W to LCVs to HCVs will not only have a significant positive impact on the environment, but it will lead to huge cost savings as well. However, different vehicle platforms have unique requirements and hence there cannot be a one-size-fits-all battery technology. Log9 has developed a 2W and 3W battery pack utilizing our Supercapacitor expertise which can be charged in 10-15 minutes and offers a battery life of more than 15 years. Through our partnership with Omega Seiki for electric 3W cargo & Hero Electric for 2W we collectively aim to accelerate the EV adoption rate in India. Through our Responsible Delivery Movement, we envision a world where business will become the change agent for carbon reduction. A world where last-mile deliveries will happen on electric vehicles ensuring fleet partners will earn more with efficient EV battery technology. A world where customers of last-mile delivery will become part of the solution. By having their orders delivered through electric vehicles, a cumulative emission reduction of 49% would take place enabling a cleaner environment. Long Haul LCVs and HCVs including buses are extremely difficult to be electrified using the conventional Li-Ion batteries. For the kind of range required, the total weight of the battery required will take away the entire load bearing capacity of the vehicle. Hence, Log9 has developed the Aluminum Fuel Cell technology which provides the benefits of the high energy density of fuel cells along with a solid, stable and recyclable fuel. The technology is due to be demonstrated next year first as a stationary power generation system followed by vehicular integration with leading EV OEMs in India.
