About COnovate
COnovate was created to commercialize the discovery of graphene monoxide (GmO), the first solid form of carbon monoxide at atmospheric temperatures and pressures. The company secured an exclusive, worldwide license from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Research Foundation to develop products based on this discovery, initially focusing on lithium-ion batteries. COnovate has developed eCOphite anode material, a safer, lower-cost, higher-capacity alternative to graphite-only batteries. COnovate has secured additional IP, has 7 employees, and has raised more than $5 million in federal and state grants, and $2.5 million in investment funding.
