QCarbon (“Quench-carbon”) is a novel metastable form of carbon created through ultra-fast laser quenching. Unlike graphite or diamond, QCarbon has unique electrochemical, thermal, magnetic, and mechanical properties.
QCarbon Inc. is a deep-tech venture translating breakthrough materials science into scalable industrial solutions. Our foundation is QCarbon, a proprietary metastable phase of carbon with unique electrochemical, thermal, magnetic, and mechanical properties.
Discovered by Prof. Jagdish Narayan (NC State University) and exclusively licensed under 13 patents, QCarbon enables faster, cleaner, and more powerful technologies across energy storage, high-performance computing, sustainable materials, and defense systems.
Led by serial deep-tech entrepreneur Nixon Patel, and backed by proven scientific and commercial leadership, QCarbon is building a platform company at the intersection of innovation, sustainability, and industrial scalability.
To be the global leader in QCarbon-powered innovations, transforming industries and creating sustainable, high-performance solutions for a better future.
Future Expansion Scope: Beyond today’s four product verticals, QCarbon opens pathways into biomedical devices, photonics, quantum sensors, space systems, and advanced semiconductors — making it a true platform material for innovation.
Three product pillars — EV Batteries, Diamond Materials, and GPU Cooling — built on one Q-Carbon materials platform.
Q-Carbon anodes unlock ultra-fast charging and long cycle life by combining a high-surface fractal Q-carbon network with silicon blends. Designed to be drop-in compatible with existing cell lines for quick OEM qualification.
Market Impact: EV battery market projected to $384B by 2032.
Our proprietary QCarbon-based diamond heat spreaders solve the thermal bottleneck in GPUs, AI accelerators, and HPC processors — enabling cooler operation, higher sustained clocks, and better energy efficiency.
📈 Market: Thermal interface materials market projected to reach $7.9B by 2030; diamond heat spreader niche ~$398M by 2034.
QCarbon Inc. produces high-quality lab-grown diamonds that are chemically, physically, and optically identical to natural diamonds — offering the same brilliance and durability (Mohs hardness 10) at a fraction of the cost.
Market Impact: ~$30B synthetic diamond market by 2033, with strong crossover into semiconductors & thermal management.
From 10-minute EV charging to 600W+ GPU stability, QCarbon delivers breakthrough performance at industrial scale.
Diamonds grown in weeks, not millennia — with lower energy costs per carat and a conflict-free, eco-friendly pipeline.
Backed by 13 exclusive patents from NC State University, our proprietary QCarbon process ensures a strong, global moat.
Beyond today’s products, QCarbon opens pathways in defense, quantum sensing, photonics, biomedical tools, and space systems.
