Particle-N is a materials technology company that has developed a patent-pending core-shell catalyst technology designed to reduce the precious metal content required for industrial applications by up to 90%. By replacing the interior of conventional solid catalysts with inexpensive core materials like aluminum or titanium and applying an ultra-thin coating of precious metals such as iridium, platinum, or palladium, the company maintains high catalytic performance while significantly lowering manufacturing costs. This proprietary manufacturing process aims to provide an economically feasible and scalable alternative to traditional solid-structured catalysts, ensuring that critical surface areas are preserved for necessary chemical reactions.

The technology addresses significant industrial challenges, including the high cost of precious metals and supply chain volatility in sectors such as green hydrogen production, automotive catalytic converters, and chemical processing. Particle-N’s solution enables manufacturers to reduce raw material dependence without compromising durability or efficiency. The company has demonstrated market demand through pilot commitments from industry leaders and has been recognized with various innovation awards, positioning itself to serve high-impact industries that require sustainable and resilient supply chains for critical catalytic materials.
