| | | | | | About QuantumSphere, Inc.
QuantumSphere, Inc. (QSI or the Company) was founded in 2002 and is now a world leader in the manufacture and development of award winning nano catalysts and integrated catalytic solutions backed by over 50 patents issued and applications pending. QSI products address high-value commercial applications across a range of carefully selected multi-billion dollar clean energy and power storage markets, with customers in emissions reduction, chemical production, batteries, and fuel cells. QSI's catalysts and components have demonstrated breakthrough results, reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the generation, storage, and use of energy. QSI is poised for expansion and profitability as multiple customer applications are being launched or are in development.
According to industry estimates, more than 80% of the world's large-scale chemical processes depend on catalysts, including petroleum refining, pollution abatement, food processing, and production of fuels and chemicals. Catalysts are now seen as one of the preferred ways to improve process efficiency, lower costs, increase output, and meet both performance and environmental standards. This is placing a strong emphasis on the development of new catalysts with higher activity, increased longevity, and reduced environmental and/or health impact.

Catalyst Footnote: A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by reducing the required activation energy. In addition to speeding up certain chemical reactions, catalysts also can be used to alter the temperature and pressure at which various thermal and elctro-chemical reactions take place and, thus, make them more efficient. Nanocatalysts represent the convergence of catalysts, a mature technology, with a new one, nanotechnology. Nanocatalysts are nanoscale materials (typically under 100 nanometers in size) that have been subjected to nanoscale structural modification in order to enhance their catalytic activity by increasing the active surface area, resulting in unique physical properties with superior performance.
The extent of the catalyst market may not be apparent to the casual observer because catalysts are mostly used in intermediate processing steps, but catalysts are a multi-billion dollar industry. Current global catalyst markets are in excess of $12 billion annually. Nanocatalysts sales are projected to reach $6.0 billion by 2015 and will play a critical role in reducing costs and increasing efficiency in the generation, storage, and usage of energy.
