Electrolytes are the lifeblood of batteries, serving as the medium through which ions move between the anode and cathode during charging and discharging. The performance, safety, and longevity of batteries are heavily dictated by the electrolyte.

However, for decades, the industry has relied on the same set of electrolyte ingredients, leading to significant challenges:

Flammability Risks

Conventional liquid electrolytes are highly flammable, posing safety concerns for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and grid storage.

Limited Compatibility

Current electrolytes cannot support advanced chemistries such as lithium-metal anodes, silicon anodes, or high-voltage cathodes, limiting energy density and performance improvements.

Thermal Instability

Traditional electrolytes degrade under hot environments, leading to reduced lifespan and reliability in demanding applications.

This lack of innovation has turned electrolytes into a major bottleneck, holding back the performance and safety of future batteries.
