KULR KULR Technology Group Inc

KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) (the "Company" or "KULR"), a global leader in carbon-based thermal management and battery safety solutions, has announced an innovative collaboration with the prestigious Scripps Research Institute's Baran Lab. Together, the teams have developed a groundbreaking pyrolytic carbon (PC) electrode material, poised to transform synthetic organic electrochemistry.

The jointly developed electrode is a low-cost, robust, and versatile alternative to traditional amorphous carbon materials such as reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) and glassy carbon (GC). With unparalleled mechanical strength and reactivity comparable to RVC and GC, this novel PC material overcomes the limitations of cost and scalability that have historically constrained large-scale synthetic organic applications.

Key Advancements:

• Affordable and Scalable: The pyrolytic carbon electrodes are produced using a proprietary chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, significantly reducing manufacturing costs and making large-scale synthesis feasible.
• Versatile Applications: The material performs exceptionally well across a range of electrochemical reactions, including rapid alternating polarity (rAP) Kolbe couplings, which are essential for high-value chemical production.
• Durability and Recyclability: Unlike fragile RVC electrodes, PC electrodes are mechanically robust, enabling simple cleaning and reusability without degradation.

Why This Matters: Electrode innovation is critical for advancing synthetic organic electrochemistry, a field integral to the production of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and sustainable materials. This novel PC electrode addresses longstanding challenges, offering an economical, high-performance solution for batch and flow chemistry applications. Its scalability and broad reactivity promise to democratize access to advanced electrochemical techniques, enabling researchers and industries worldwide to adopt sustainable methodologies.

"KULR’s expertise in carbon materials, combined with the innovative vision of Scripps Research's Baran Lab, has resulted in a truly transformative material for synthetic chemistry," said Michael Mo, CEO of KULR Technology. "We are excited to bring this technology to market, where it has the potential to redefine how we approach large-scale chemical synthesis."
