Flow Cell Energy
Flow cell technology with bi-ION electrolyte for scalable, battery-free energy systems
nanoFlowcell
Converts chemical energy into electrical power
bi-ION®
Liquid electrolyte enabling high-density energy delivery
Electrolyte Circulation
Manages electrolyte flow and availability for continuous energy conversion
Electrolyte Separation
Two electrolytes with different charge states are stored separately and circulated through the system.
Ion Exchange Across Membrane
Ions are exchanged through a membrane, generating an electrical potential without direct mixing of the electrolytes.
Electrical Energy Generation
The controlled ion flow produces electric current, while the electrolyte is gradually consumed in an irreversible process.
Water Purification and bi-ION Production
Water Sources
Seawater, wastewater and other input streams form the raw material for electrolyte production.
Purification and Demineralization
Water is filtered and demineralized to remove contaminants and create a defined base medium.
Electrolyte Formulation
Purified water is combined with salts and enriched with the proprietary bi-ION® molecule.
Functional Conditioning
The electrolyte is conditioned for transport, circulation and stable system operation.
What is bi-ION?
Material Composition
A nanostructured liquid electrolyte composed of organic and inorganic charge carriers. The formulation enables stable ion transport and controlled electrochemical interaction within the nanoFlowcell system.
What performance does it enable?
Energy Density & Separation
High-density electrolyte enabling extended range and compact system design. The separation of energy storage and conversion allows scalable architectures independent of battery constraints.
How is it produced and scaled?
Production & Scalability
Synthesised from widely available raw materials using scalable industrial processes. The production approach supports decentralised manufacturing and adaptable supply chains.
How does it behave in operation?
Irreversible Energy Behaviour
Energy is released through electrolyte consumption rather than electrical recharging. This irreversible process enables continuous operation through fluid replacement instead of cyclic storage.
The end of charging cycles
Energy is not restored through electrical charging. The electrolyte is consumed during operation and replaced when depleted.
Continuous energy availability
Refilling eliminates charging time constraints and enables predictable, uninterrupted operation.
Infrastructure-independent operation
Energy supply is decoupled from electrical charging infrastructure and defined by electrolyte logistics.
