High Entropy Oxides (HEOs) represent a relatively new class of ceramic materials that incorporate a multitude of cations into a single, stable crystal lattice. By leveraging the principle of configurational entropy, these materials prevent individual elements from separating into distinct phases.
In energy storage applications, HEO cathode materials show immense potential in overcoming the traditional limitations of sodium-ion systems—such as diffusion bottlenecks that cause low capacity or rapid degradation during cycling. The rigid local environment of the HEO crystal framework effectively prevents phase transitions and structural collapse, while its expanded lattice structure enables significantly faster Na+ diffusion.
Tailored to Your Specific Application
Because HEOs offer such versatile performance benefits, NEI is now providing fully customizable synthesis of these advanced materials. We are application-agnostic, routinely producing materials optimized for:
You provide the target HEO composition and structure, and our team handles the rest. To ensure the material fits your exact application requirements, NEI can customize the:
Average particle size (D50)
Particle size distribution
Morphology and surface structure
Additionally, to address the poor electronic conductivity inherent to some HEO formulations, we can surface-modify and coat the particles with either carbon or an electrically conducting polymer, such as polyaniline (PANI) or PEDOT.
Scalable Production
Whether you are in the early stages of R&D or moving toward pilot production, NEI supports your workflow with scalable batch sizes ranging from 50 grams to 100 kilograms, all while maintaining exceptional phase purity.

As global environmental regulations evolve and supply chain transparency becomes paramount for materials engineering, NEI Corporation remains dedicated to supporting our customers with regulatory data and compliant product options. To assist procurement teams that are currently auditing their supply chains to align with new state, federal, and international frameworks regarding Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), we are highlighting the key solutions within our protective coatings portfolio that are engineered to meet these strict environmental standards.
Understanding the Standard: “No Intentionally Added PFAS”
In the industrial materials sector, verifying compliance requires careful technical distinction. When evaluating our portfolio for environmental documentation, we benchmark against the industry-recognized standard of “No Intentionally Added PFAS.” This means that during the chemical formulation and manufacturing of these specific product lines, no PFAS compounds, processing aids, or fluorinated surface treatments are introduced into the matrix. This approach provides a clear, reliable pathway for companies targeting strict regulatory compliance without sacrificing the surface properties, thermal stability, or chemical resistance their applications demand.
Compliant Solutions Within Our Portfolio
The following PFAS-free coating solutions are formulated to deliver exceptional performance characteristics entirely independent of fluorinated chemistries:
With this easy-to-clean, oleophobic coating, soil and liquids simply slide off coated surfaces, thereby reducing deposits and extending the time between cleanings.
This nanocomposite, barrier coating for steel & aluminum bonds to bare, pretreated or painted metal surfaces and provides superior corrosion protection.
This hard barrier, protective coating is designed to prevent metals, such as zinc-plated or galvanized steel, from corroding and offers high coverage and excellent cyclic performance.
We understand that navigating material certifications can be complex. To support your internal auditing processes, our comprehensive Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are readily available for download at the links above or directly on our website product pages. For organizations requiring formal documentation for their environmental registries, NEI can provide a regulatory declaration letter verifying the non-intentional PFAS status of these specific product lines upon request.
If you are currently evaluating a specific application or need assistance matching a performance requirement with one of our compliant material options, our technical support team is here to assist.
Somerset, NJ – NEI Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of a new line of advanced graphene dispersions developed in collaboration with HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. These innovative dispersions can be seamlessly integrated into existing electrode slurries, replacing or supplementing traditional conducting carbons. When mixed with active materials and binder, these conductive additives enable the creation of flexible electrodes, expanding design possibilities for high-performance cells.
Why is this unique?
The new FGA-1 dispersions utilize HydroGraph’s pristine Fractal GrapheneTM, produced through a proprietary detonation synthesis process. This unique graphene exhibits 100% sp2 bonding and a turbostratic arrangement with an average of six graphene layers per particle. This nanoscale structure contributes to exceptional conductivity and facilitates improved rate capability and energy density, providing a significant advantage for diverse battery applications.
“One key advantage of these conductive additives is their lower percolation threshold. Due to its 2D geometry, graphene facilitates improved interconnectivity between active material particles and the conductive network within the electrode compared to spherical carbon black particles,” said Dr. Ranjith Divigalpitiya, CSO of Hydrograph.
New Product Line: Carbon-Based Conductive Additives
The new line of advanced conductive additives, available in both NMP-based and water-based dispersions, expands NEI Corporation’s comprehensive portfolio of high-performance battery materials. This strategic addition complements NEI’s existing offerings of cathode, anode, and electrolyte materials for both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries, enabling the company to provide customers with even more complete and integrated solutions.
“Our collaboration with Hydrograph and the launch of these graphene dispersions demonstrates NEI’s commitment to innovation and supporting battery researchers,” said Dr. Ganesh Skandan, CEO of NEI Corporation.
