Benefits of technology

This patented technology relates to an improved solution for making batteries that have better properties than previously possible due to lower temperatures caused during their manufacturing process or use. It involves adding certain chemical substances into the elecrosis fluid used inside the cell instead of just mixing them together beforehand. These added compounds help decrease crystal formation when there're no water being absorbed from outside. By combining these ingredients properly, it becomes more effective at preventing deteriorating electrical characteristics such as short circuit current flow and reduced energy storage capabilities.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discuss different ways how an ion (Li) redox flow cell works properly when there're no electric connection between its components or if some parts start working well but lose their ability due to high ambient temperatures during operation. Existing solutions involve adding more expensive materials like LiFePO4. Additionally, these methods may result in decreased energy density and reduced life span of the cells themselves.
