Mitra Chem is a Mountain View, California battery-materials company building a domestic supply chain for low-cost, iron-based cathode active materials such as LFP and LMFP. Its platform pairs machine-learning models with high-throughput lab automation to synthesize and test thousands of material formulations per month, dramatically compressing the discovery-to-pilot timeline versus traditional chemistry workflows. The company targets EV batteries, grid-scale energy storage, and defense applications, and has attracted strategic backing from General Motors alongside more than $150M in U.S. Department of Energy and State of Michigan grants. Mitra Chem positions itself as critical infrastructure for re-shoring American battery production and reducing dependence on overseas cathode suppliers.
