DirectPlate™ represents a transformational opportunity to reshape how America secures its critical mineral and energy supply. Our approach not only addresses immediate supply chain vulnerabilities but establishes a foundation for sustainable domestic production of essential materials. Xerion is positioned to become a cornerstone of America’s material and battery industry infrastructure.
At Xerion, we refuse to accept tradeoffs and seek to rewrite the entire script rather than capture a small portion of the pie.

Founded in 2010, Xerion was born out of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with the goal of completely rewriting the battery industry script. Starting with a battery architecture breakthrough, the team later sought to find a way to create electrodes with stronger energy density metrics. After years of research, the team developed DirectPlate™ to selectively plate metals using low-purity feedstocks.
Starting with LCO to create best-in-class electrodes, the team later made a breakthrough in refinement for alloy-grade cobalt. Today, Xerion is working to commercialize the applications of DirectPlate™ across metal refinement and electrode manufacturing.
Xerion is located in Dayton, Ohio in the US heartland. Our headquarters are located within a 15-minute drive to Wright-Patterson AFB, the largest US Air Force base by employee count, and within a day’s drive of many of the largest and most important manufacturers in the US.
Let's work together to power the future of American innovation.
