BioLargo, Inc. announced that it had succeeded in manufacturing its first Cellinity "Liquid Sodium" prototype battery cells. Cellinity is BioLargo's next-generation battery platform designed to provide safe, environmentally conscious large-format long-duration battery energy storage for applications including grid-scale storage, renewable energy storage, charging stations for electric vehicles, and a variety of other commercial and industrial applications. Cellinity is not a lithium-ion battery - rather, it uses a unique chemistry involving molten salt electrolytes that imparts substantial benefits over lithium-ion chemistry.
These newly manufactured Cellinity prototype cells will now be tested and validated for the energy storage and transfer performance claims that were generated in the technology's early-stage research and development by its original inventors: Far greater safety - no runaway fires, no risk of explosion; Extremely long-lasting - no performance decrease over thousands of cycles; No self-discharging, no out-gassing, and no parasitic load for cooling; High energy density - more energy per unit of weight than lithium batteries; All materials can be sourced within North America without the need for rare-earth elements.
