Non-aqueous, metal-free organic redox flow battery using proprietary organic electrolytes in a symmetrical design for both catholyte and anolyte, eliminating metal-related risks, minimizing cross-contamination, simplifying synthesis, reducing costs, and extending lifespan. The non-aqueous chemistry ensures safety and stability, supports up to 12,000 charge-discharge cycles and fast charging rates, and uses low-cost synthetic materials and membranes to avoid expensive ion-selective membranes.
Organic redox flow batteries featuring a symmetrical organic molecule design, high cyclability of up to 12,000 cycles, fast charging rates, and scalable manufacturing with low-cost synthetic materials and membranes. Suitable for utility-scale, commercial, industrial, off-grid, and residential energy storage applications.
In 2024, advanced research and development efforts focused on improving the performance and cost-effectiveness of organic RFBs by refining electrolyte chemistry to enhance energy density and system integration, and optimizing manufacturing processes for scalability and reduced production costs.
