HYPERION 
— The Global Innovator in Precious Metal Nanomaterials

Hyperion Tech is dedicated to the research and development of high-performance nanoscale and atomic-level precious metal materials, focusing on creating innovative functional materials with both scientific significance and practical applications in fields such as catalysis and advanced manufacturing. Currently, the company’s key research areas include TVOC single-atom catalytic degradation materials and high-performance precious-metal-based electronic chemicals—products designed to deliver premium material solutions to customers across the global electronics and catalysis industries. Today, HYPERION has emerged as one of China’s fastest-growing technology enterprises in the new materials sector.

Globally, the company is a leader and advocate in the single-atom catalysis industry. Leveraging the unique quantum effects and high surface activity of single-atom catalyst materials, it has pioneered the launch of the Atom series of single-atom TVOC-degrading catalysts—applications include treating indoor air pollutants from home renovations, advanced industrial systems for complex gaseous contaminants, and innovative automotive fresh-air systems. Looking ahead, these breakthrough catalysts are poised to bring about profound industrial transformations in the global TVOC degradation field.

In the field of high-performance electronic chemicals, the company offers premium customized solutions from its Venus series products to customers in the display/flexible touch applications sector. These solutions include silver-based conductive pastes, silver-based adhesives, and other high-performance insulating oil-based protective products, with processes covering technologies such as Metal-Mesh, CTP fine-line silver paste etching, and IC packaging techniques. Additionally, the company also provides comprehensive material solutions for photovoltaic components under the Saturn series, as well as cutting-edge high-performance materials for flexible electronic circuits in the Mercury series.

The "Bai Ren Hui Outstanding Talent Award" was established by the Bai Ren Hui in 2005, aiming to support China in nurturing outstanding new-generation elites who excel both academically and morally. The award selects exceptional master’s or doctoral students who have demonstrated remarkable leadership skills in areas such as social公益, innovation and entrepreneurship, or Sino-U.S. cultural exchange. The Bai Ren Hui is a renowned organization of prominent Chinese-American leaders, co-founded in New York in 1990 by influential figures like architectural master I.M. Pei, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, and entrepreneur Yang Xuelan—all U.S.-based Chinese-Americans. Its members are successful individuals from various sectors of society, including notable figures such as physicist Tsung-Dao Lee, technology entrepreneur Kai-Fu Lee, and computer scientist Ya-Qin Zhang. 
Currently, a total of 18 Chinese universities have been invited to participate in the program, including Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Jilin University, Nanjing University, Nankai University, Shandong University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Sichuan University, Sun Yat-sen University, Tianjin University, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, University of Science and Technology of China, Wuhan University, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xiamen University, and Zhejiang University. Each year, 32 graduate students are selected from these prestigious institutions to receive awards. The winners will attend the "C100" China Annual Conference & Talent Award Ceremony, held in Beijing this December, as well as the "C100" Annual Meeting in the U.S. next spring, where they will engage in a week-long exchange and visit program across the United States.
