XENERGY®
As demand for faster, more efficient wireless charging grows, traditional materials often fall short. XENERGY is a cutting-edge, nanostructured nickel-iron-cobalt alloy that enhances the performance of wireless charging coils and other high-frequency applications. XENERGY’s unique nanostructure is achieved through Xtalic’s proprietary alloy design and pulse electrodeposition techniques. By applying a thin layer of XENERGY to fine-gauge copper wire, engineers can increase inductance, lower AC resistance and optimize the magnetic properties of inductive coils. This results in a notable boost in efficiency and performance, particularly in wireless charging applications where minimizing energy loss and heat is crucial.
