Precision-engineered cerium oxide nanomaterials for chemical remediation and radiation applications — supplied and licensed to the companies and programs that build with them.
Cerium oxide is a rare-earth material with reversible, tunable surface chemistry. We control its synthesis, size, and surface at the nanoscale — turning a single platform into purpose-built materials for very different missions.
Proprietary synthesis methods give us control over particle size, morphology, and surface chemistry — the variables that determine how the material performs in the field.
Every batch is defined by measurable properties and validated through materials characterization, so partners design with confidence and qualify with evidence.
We deliver material and know-how, not finished consumer goods. Our nanoparticles are designed to be formulated, coated, and embedded into our partners' products and programs.
Cerium oxide (CeO₂) is a rare-earth material with a rare trick: its surface can give up and take back oxygen, over and over, without wearing out. That reversible, self-regenerating chemistry lets it neutralize harmful compounds and scavenge the free radicals produced by radiation — the same property, working two ways.
It's abundant, stable, and well-tolerated, which makes it a compelling foundation for technologies that need to be effective and non-toxic. We engineer it at the nanoscale to dial in exactly the behavior an application needs.
We take our cues from nature. The same self-renewing, radical-scavenging chemistry that protects living cells is what makes cerium oxide work — and we look to how nature solves problems to engineer materials that are both higher-performing and safer.
We collaborate with other material innovators to amplify what cerium oxide can do — combining complementary chemistries to reach higher performance while keeping the whole system non-toxic.
The same core capability addresses problems on opposite ends of the spectrum — cleaning up the environment, and protecting people and equipment from radiation.
Cerium oxide's catalytic, redox-active surface neutralizes contaminants and accelerates breakdown reactions — engineered for water, soil, and surface treatment.
The same redox chemistry scavenges free radicals generated by ionizing radiation — a basis for protective materials in space and high-radiation environments. We're also developing non-toxic alternatives to lead for radiation shielding.
Our unique nanoparticles enable applications that are limited by the chemistries available today. Tadhana doesn't compete with its partners — we provide engineered materials and the know-how behind them, so companies and programs can move faster than they could developing the chemistry themselves.
Specification-grade cerium oxide nanoparticles, produced to your application's requirements and delivered batch-to-batch consistent.
