Advanced Energy Materials, LLC was started in 2010 with a primary focus to commercialize nanowire based materials, specifically for Hydro-Desulfurization Catalyst and Lithium-Ion Battery applications. ADEM has developed a break-through technology for bulk production of nanomaterials. The process converts metal oxide powders into nanowires. The technology has many applications and has been proven to work with a wide variety of metal oxide systems. The nanowires find potential applications in Lithium-Ion batteries as anodes, cathodes and separators; Ultra Capacitors; Hydro-Desulfurization Catalysts; Photocatalysts and Fuel cell electrocatalysts. AdEM has demonstrated and patented nanowires that yield high capacity retention and durability.

ADEM in partnership with the University of Louisville has developed a break-through technology, SolvoPlasma^TM, for nanomaterials production. The SolvoPlasma^TM process converts inexpensive and abundant metal oxide powders into one-dimensional semiconducting materials via rapid oxidation in a plasma discharge operated at atmospheric conditions. The technology is widely applicable and has been proven to work with a wide variety of metal oxide systems.
