Syzygy Plasmonics has raised $76 million in series C funding from Carbon Direct Capital, Aramco, Chevron, Lotte Chemical, and other investors. The Houston-based firm was formed in 2017 based on Rice University professors Naomi Halas and Peter Nordlander’s research into using light instead of energy to advance chemical reactions. Syzygy, one of C&EN’s 10 Start-Ups to Watch in 2019, says it will deploy photocatalysts in a novel reactor to reduce emissions in chemical manufacturing. It plans to ship commercial reactors in 2023.
