Summary
Environmental Clean Technologies Limited (ECT) has signed a 12-month research and development and engineering support agreement with Metallium Ltd and its subsidiary, Flash Metals USA Inc., to accelerate the production of MXenes at Metallium's Gator Point facility in Texas. This agreement allows ECT to access Metallium's proprietary Flash Joule Heating (FJH) reactor technology, which significantly scales up MXenes production compared to conventional methods. ECT additionally plans to acquire Xenica Materials Pty Ltd, which owns exclusive rights to use this technology from Rice University.
