"Polaris Venture Partners has pumped an additional $1 million in seed
capital into Cambridge, MA-based solar fuel startup Sun Catalytix,
bringing its total investment in the MIT spinout to $3 million"
"Metcalfe, a leader of the clean technology practice at Waltham-based
Polaris, didn’t seem afraid to tell me that Sun Catalytix doesn’t
have a definite plan for how it plans to bring its technology to
market."
"The startup, which now has five employees, has been focused on
building systems that can demonstrate how well the technology works
with different types of water and with larger volumes of water than
Nocera used in his lab at MIT. (Separate experiments have
successfully demonstrated the technology using water from the Charles
River and Boston Harbor, Metcalfe says, but yet another experiment
that tested antifreeze as an alternative to water for using the
system in freezing weather didn’t quite work.)"
"Sun Catalytix is developing several different catalysts to perform a
water-splitting reaction."
