Transforming Hydrogen Production with Light

At CycLX Inc., our mission is to unlock the full potential of hydrogen as a clean, efficient and sustainable fuel by decarbonizing its production methods. We are developing advanced photocatalytic nano-materials and light-based technologies to replace traditional combustion-dependent processes, thereby significantly lowering both the carbon footprint and the high costs associated with current hydrogen production.

Our proprietary Meta-Catalytic Surfaces™ (MCS) platform uses ammonia cracking with light-powered photocatalysts to overcome the carbon-intensity, complexity and energy inefficiencies that plague current hydrogen production methods, such as natural gas reforming and electrolysis pathways. By significantly improving hydrogen production efficiency and reducing its GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions, we are working to decarbonize the planet and advance sustainable fuel solutions.

MCS: Nano-Engineered Technology

Our Meta-Catalytic Surfaces (MCS) are innovative, proprietary 3D nanostructured films that act as highly effective photocatalysts. Utilizing light, these surfaces are engineered for high flow-through surface area-to-volume ratios, which significantly boost reaction efficiency, speed, and catalytic performance.

MCS are manufactured with atomic-level precision, allowing for exact architectural control. This enables us to tailor their material composition, structural design, and size to optimize their performance for specific photocatalytic applications, harnessing light to drive chemical reactions with unprecedented efficiency.
