# Flexodes Inc

##### ACCELERATING THE RATE OF CLIMATE INNOVATION BY:

Eliminating the need for rare earth metals, and delivering safer batteries with 50% higher energy density using commonly available materials.

[Batteries](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/batteries) [Cohort 23-1](https://www.third-derivative.org/portfolio/tag/cohort-23-1)

##### PROBLEM FOCUS

Electric mobility applications require higher-density, cheaper, and safer energy storage solutions. Current lithium ion chemistries at best produce 2-4% storage improvements, fail to address overheating/fire safety issues, and are dependent on an insecure rare earth metals supply chain.

##### TECHNOLOGY SOLUTION

Flexodes’ patented, proven Lithium-Sulfur battery technology achieves 50% higher watt-hours per kilogram (with pathway to 100%+) at a 20-40% lower cost per kilowatt hour compared to lithium ion technology. The company's innovation also reduces the need for rare earth metals and eliminates oxides that exacerbate fires. In addition, Flexodes' cathode fabrication process eliminates slurry coating, reducing environmental impact and simplifying cathode manufacturing.
