Long-Duration Energy Storage For Less Than $100/kWh
Concerns over climate change have brought about a clear need for cleaner, more sustainable energy. The demand for renewable energy has kept up, with its cost approaching that of traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels. Wind and solar energy are promising options, but their intermittent nature provides a challenge with supply and demand. The key to year-round clean energy lies in being able to store energy for long durations, and discharging on-demand. IMABATTERY ™ is an aqueous redox-flow battery with breakthrough energy storage performance at an extremely low cost that will allow for large-scale integration of clean energy.
Yearly trends for solar and wind power show stretches of low energy capacity.

IMABATTERY ™ maximizes space efficiency due to its safe design and compact container. Energy capacity can be easily scaled up by increasing the size of the electrolyte tanks. Lithium-ion batteries demand large areas for adequate spacing to prevent fire hazards, and can see challenges with scaling up.
Basics of Redox-Flow Batteries
Redox-Flow Batteries consist of two tanks of electrolyte each connected to a half cell separated by an ion membrane. The system gets its name from the two key reactions that occur-- reduction and oxidation. These reactions are reversible, with their direction depending on whether the battery is being charged or discharged. The amount of charge stored is directly related to the amount of electrolyte and can be easily increased. This technology has incredible potential and most importantly, can be built from cheap, safe, and sustainable materials.
