Using electrodes in a fluid form, researchers at Linköping University have developed a battery that can take any shape. This soft and conformable battery can be integrated into future technology in a completely new way. Their study has been published in the journal Science Advances. . Rivus Batteries and Bengt Dahlgren will install Sweden's first organic flow battery in pilot-scale at HSB Living Lab in Gothenburg. This new battery technology is based on organic molecules instead of critical metals and can make a significant contribution to advancing energy storage which is more. . The project aims to industrialize Rivus' metal-free, water-based electrolyte and replace today's metal-dependent flow-battery chemistries with a safer, cheaper and more sustainable alternative. The objective is to scale posolyte and negolyte production to ton-scale, establish a European supply. . The startup is exploring membranes free from the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) known as 'forever chemicals' and its wood-derived, cellulose-based products could be used for long-duration energy storage (LDES). Swedish startup Cellfion is developing PFAS-free membranes for its LDES. . Cellfion is a pioneer in bio-based ion-selective membranes for the next level of clean energy and conversion devices. The Swedish SME is a spin-off company from the DCC academic partners LiU and KTH. Cellfion will contribute with knowledge and production of membranes for PEM electrolytes, redox. . Flow batteries are emerging as a transformative technology for large-scale energy storage, offering scalability and long-duration storage to address the intermittency of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
