A New Take on the Edison Battery
Nickel-iron batteries have been used in stationary and mobile applications for over 70 years, starting with the historically known “Edison Battery” which was successfully commercialized in early 1900’s. Today’s nickel-iron battery is far more performing and less costly, having benefitted years of research and development.
NanoNiFe’s Unique Design
NanoNiFe’s unique chemistry is based on proven research solutions to answer today’s alkaline battery challenges. The use of recent material enhancing techniques such as nano-structuring to process the active material and the use of highly conductive agents in electrode paste formulation, brings this battery technology to a new level. Our proprietary technical breakthroughs increase material utilization and permit higher round trip efficiency. These are key factors affecting the battery production cost and they impact significantly long term operating cost.
Nickel-iron battery are preferred as effective solutions to store energy because of raw materials’ cost and availability, environmental friendliness, electrical abuse tolerance, long cycle life (thousands of charge and discharge cycles) and compatibility with photovoltaics as well as other applications.
Due to their outstanding safety properties (zero flammability, fail safe, no over/under charge), long lifetime of over 25 years and low cost, NanoNiFe’s battery provides unique benefits in energy storage.
Hybrid Battery
NanoNiFe is going beyond an optimized conventional cell design by developing a hybrid flow cell.
