A new startup company is working to develop aluminum-based, low-cost energy storage systems for electric vehicles and microgrids. Founded by University of New Mexico inventor Shuya Wei, Flow Aluminum, Inc. could directly compete with ionic lithium-ion batteries …
According to incomplete statistics of Battery Network, seven domestic and foreign solid-state battery manufacturers, such as Weilan New Energy, High Energy era, Tai Blue New Energy, SES, Enli Power, Huineng Technology and Factorial Energy, have received new investment since 2022.
The development of an aluminum-based battery was initiated by Shuya Wei, a chemical engineering professor who joined UNM in 2019.
Flow Aluminum batteries store more energy and provide a powerful discharge of electricity, with only a fraction of their energy storage and discharge capacity lost during the electrochemical process. This loss is basically on a par with the efficiency losses seen in lithium-ion batteries, according to Fetrow.
Flow Aluminum, Inc., a new startup company, is developing aluminum-based, low-cost energy storage systems for electric vehicles and microgrids. Founded by University of New Mexico inventor Shuya Wei, these aluminum-based batteries could directly compete with ionic lithium-ion batteries and provide a broad range of advantages.
Since aluminum is easily recycled, the company plans to rely largely on recycled materials in the manufacturing process of their batteries. Aluminum is the third most-abundant material in the Earth’s crust, and it recycles very cleanly, creating a captive supply chain.
Aluminum metal is used in batteries because it absorbs electricity when charging. When combined with CO2 gas, the chemical reaction allows the electrons to flow out, or discharge. This is different from lithium-ion batteries, which contain heavier minerals and mechanisms. The energy-storage capacity of aluminum is reflected in the metal itself.
