CFx Batteries
50% Higher Energy Density and rechargeable, our CFx technology aim to achieve high-energy, rechargeable batteries that power vessels and rail systems with minimal infrastructure disruption towards significant reduction in the US carbon footprint.
LOW COST
Micro-sized Si is 10x less expensive than Nano Si, easier to process and scale
EFFICIENCY
Protective Inorganic SEI of silicon particles results in high coulombic efficiency and cycle life
POWERFUL
20% increase in energy density of Li-ion batteries at a low cost
SAFE
Flame Resistant electrolyte and lower surface area of micro silicon
Battery Powered Long-Distance Transportations
Compete Against Combustion Engines for Ships and Rail Travel
This new chemistry builds on previous work at UMD on halogen conversion-intercalation chemistry but targets significantly higher energy through active material, electrolyte, and other cell chemistry modifications. The cell is assembled in the discharged state, significantly lowering cost relative to high-energy Li-metal cells that are built in the charged state (and hence require the use of Li-metal foils).
