NOVONIX positions Riverside for bigger role in U.S. battery materials
NOVONIX provided a mass-production qualification C-sample of synthetic graphite anode material to Panasonic Energy in June 2026.
What We Offer
Thermal Management for Compute
Carbon-based thermal interface and dissipation solutions for high-density AI hardware.
EMI Shielding & Signal Integrity
Shielding and conductivity solutions for dense electronic environments.
Data-Centre Infrastructure
Material strategy for the physical build-out of hyperscale and edge facilities.
Next-Generation Electronics
Carbon's role in the semiconductors and interconnects underpinning digital infrastructure.
AI and Digital Infrastructure focuses on the physical materials behind the digital economy: the batteries and thermal management that keep data centres running, the EMI shielding and high-frequency electronics that protect signal integrity, and the sensors and interconnects that advanced carbons are beginning to reshape. Graphene, carbon nanotubes and related materials are moving from the laboratory into components at exactly the point where compute demand is accelerating.
The ACC role is to make that adoption defensible. The ISO-based classification framework gives engineers a precise way to describe what they are specifying, the in-person verification programme checks that a producer can actually deliver it, and independent testing across validated methods confirms performance before it reaches a product. Reference work such as the graphene report programme and the Council vetted company profiles give buyers a grounded view of who the credible suppliers are.
The division follows the applications where advanced carbons and digital infrastructure meet, from battery electrodes and thermal interface materials to EMI shielding, electronics and sensing, and links them to the specialists and testing capacity across the more than forty verticals the ACC covers. For teams building the hardware layer of AI, it is a route to qualified materials and the evidence to stand behind them.
