Enabling a Sustainable & Electrified Future.

Cobalt-Free.

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) was originally discovered in the U.S. through the work of Prof Goodenough and Prof Manthiram, co-founder of TexPower. Today, LFP is used in more than half of all lithium-ion batteries worldwide.

Headquartered in Houston, Texas, TexPower combine our own deep R&D expertise and our industry-leading manufacturing partners’ extensive know-how to bring manufacturing of LFP and more advanced cathodes to America’s Energy Capital.

We currently operate with a 15-ton (10 MWh) state-of-the-art small pilot facility and offer a series of products available for sale and sampling, with expansion plans of up to 100,000 tons (40 GWh).

CONTINUING A LEGACY OF BATTERY INNOVATION

1990s

Prof. Goodenough and Prof. Manthiram first identified the polyanion class of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries. One of them, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), becomes the cathode material of choice for commercial Electric Vehicle and Energy Storage batteries. 

2010s

A new class of cobalt-free and nickel-conscious cathode material, nickel manganese aluminum (NMA) oxide, was discovered at UT Austin by TexPower's Founder, Dr. Li, working in Prof. Mathiram's group.

2020

TexPower was established in Houston, Texas to manufacture LFP and commercialize NMA with exclusive licenses of IP from UT Austin, and to continue improving these cathode materials and more.

2023

With Series A funding from strategic investors, TexPower moved to our own Brittmoore site and initiated the construction of our 15-ton small pilot cathode facility.

2024

TexPower's 15-ton small pilot facility was successfully commissioned and started producing both LFP and NMA/NMC cathode materials available for sampling and sale, first of its kind in the United States.

2025

With the support of our tier 1 battery material manufacturing partner, TexPower initiated the engineering design of our Phase I 12,500-ton LFP production plant (to supply 5 GWh batteries) at our own Brittmoore site.

2027

TexPower's Phase I 12,500-ton LFP plant (5 GWh) and 300-ton NMA/NMC plant (180 MWh) become fully operational, producing fully IRA complaint materials serving the U.S. battery supply chain.

2030

TexPower's Phase II LFP and NMA plant in the United States is complete, bringing total production capacity up to 100,000 tons per annum (40 GWh).

OUR PRODUCTS

Iron-Based

Free of pricey nickel and cobalt, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode offers good energy, excellent safety, and ultralong cycle life, ideal for energy storage systems and mass-market electric vehicles such as robotaxis.

Lithium manganese iron phosphate (LMFP) provides higher energy and improved sub-zero temperature performance.

Nickel-Based

Nickel manganese aluminum (NMA) oxide cathode, a drop-in replacement of commercial nickel-based cathodes, provides the highest energy with good charge-discharge speed, ideal for unmanned aerial vehicles and other specialty applications.

Nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) oxide cathode is tailored to withstand aggressive battery operating conditions with high energy output and good safety.
