Salgenx - Electrode Catalyst

The Problem Defined: During our flow battery development validation and evolution, the process of designing,formulating, fabricating, and then testing electrodes became a game of wasting time with various catalyst companies. The process is very time consuming, and many catalyst companies will promise a formula with active loading (xxx mg/cm2), and then not even deliver on what they quoted. Weeks and months can be spent going back and forth. If you decide to formulate and build your own electrodes for your flow battery, you`ll need some very expensive equipment, and dedicated staff to run it. Setting up a lab with electrode fabrication can take months and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Function: This license is for rapid deployment of forming electrode design, coatings, and catalyst delivery for liquid electrolysis for flow batteries. We have two techniques which allow on-demand catalyst coating on flat, shaped, packed bed, and other electrodes.

Savings: This innovation can save you huge amounts of time, staff, and funding while delivering just-in-time electrode development. Imagine formulating an electrode catalyst and being able to test it the same day, or even same hour.

Experimental: The license is for on-demand electrode fabrication and catalyst coating. This is specifically for running tests to determine the applicability and design confirmation of the electrode in a electrolyte. Since this has not been duration (time) tested, we cannot guarantee erosion or catalyst degradation profiles over time. With a lab proven catalyst, you can then move to a more traditional fabrication with chemical companies for your system deployment.
