Advanced Nanomaterials    


  • Commercial-Scale Production of Carbon Nano Onions (CNO)
  • Design and Production of Metallo-Endohedral Fullerenes 
  • Leading-edge R&D collaboration with leading Australian Universities:
    • Cancer Treatment: >90% success in neutralising multiple types of cancerous tumour cells
    • Energy Storage: New supercapacitor designs have delivered 100x energy storage results    


Advanced Nanomaterials is a unique Australian nanotechnology company conducting advanced R&D into biotech and energy storage with world-class experts at Australian Universities. We are establishing advanced nanomaterial manufacturing facilities in Australia to produce industrial-scale quantities of Carbon Nano Onions (CNO) and Metallo-Endohedral Fullerenes (@Cn) using our proven nanomaterial production equipment and processes.

  • Manufacturing Carbon Nano Onions and Metallo-Endofullerenes at industrial-scale in Australia maximises the potential applications for advanced carbon nanomaterials stemming from Australia’s strong commercial and technology frameworks

The company has developed the ability to manufacture complex nanomaterials at commercial-scale and continues to refine our production of consistently high quality CNO and @Cn yields at industrial quantities. Our priority is to streamline production operations and accelerate collaborative Research & Development to maximise the application of CNOs and endofullerenes for mass market adoption.

  • R&D investments to develop innovative new and novel nanomaterial applications will help accelerate mass market adoption to maximise the ground-breaking potential of nanotechnology for everyday life

By making endofullerenes available at industrial-scale quantities, we will enable Australia to become a world leader in the production, utilisation, and adoption of breakthrough scientific discoveries in nanotechnology, nanomaterials, and nanomedicine.

What are CNO and Endofullerenes?

Endohedral Fullerenes (@Cn) are novel nanomaterials that contain atomic elements and complex chemical compounds encased within fullerene carbon cages. Endofullerenes can be used across a wide range of advanced applications in energy storage, photovoltaic cells, medical diagnostics, cancer treatment, nanoelectronics, and other cutting-edge nanotechnologies

Carbon Nano Onions (CNO) are an exciting new class of carbonaceous  nanostructures that feature quasi-concentric graphitic shells surrounding fullerene molecular structures. Advanced Nanomaterials has been able to produce CNO molecules that are up to 400nm in diameter (as per the SEM microscopy photo). These are unique as they contain upwards of 1 million carbon atoms tightly packed into the stable nanostructure.
