battery materials development

AquaLith Advanced Materials, Inc. manufactures next-generation batteries and battery materials. It has exclusively licensed a portfolio of lithium-ion battery patents from the University of Maryland, including an ultra-high energy cathode, a novel silicon anode, and a non-flammable aqueous electrolyte. The batteries contain no transition metals, operate efficiently below -50C, and the water-based electrolyte reduces fire risk from short circuits. The company is privately held and working to complete its initial round of financing.
