Advano

Advano is a New Orleans, Louisiana battery-materials company that develops silicon-based anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Spun out of Tulane University in 2016 and backed by 25+ patents, its flagship REALSi silicon-carbon composite is engineered as a drop-in replacement for graphite anodes, delivering up to 9x the energy density of graphite for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, defense, and grid energy storage. Advano's process avoids hazardous silane gas, uses abundant metallurgical-grade silicon, and runs on existing manufacturing equipment. The company operates a pilot plant in New Orleans East and is scaling toward 3,000 tons of REALSi in 2026 and 20,000 tons by 2030. This is a physical deep-tech manufacturer with no public API or developer platform; it is catalogued in the API Evangelist network as a VC portfolio company profile.

Advano is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Battery Materials, Silicon Anode, Lithium-Ion Batteries, and Electric Vehicles.

Advano’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 7 more developer resources.
