Did you know toothpaste ingredients might boost electric car performance? 

Argonne National Laboratory scientists have developed a new electrolyte for EVs containing fluoride- most commonly associated with dental care. 

Despite their vast differences, batteries and dental care both benefit from fluoride’s capacity to create protective barriers.

Electrolyte powered with fluoride salts and a polymer reduces electrode and electrolyte degradation in batteries and provides stable cycling—a long-term challenge with traditional electrolytes.

This means increased vehicle range, more economical, and safer EVs due to the non flammable nature of the electrolyte. 

It’s interesting how solutions to pressing problems can often be found in unexpected industries. Much like transportation finding answers in dentistry 🙂 

There’s another company working on energy storage efficiency with their sustainable Vanadium Flow Battery- ReFlex

This modular solution scales impressively from 10 kilowatts to 100 megawatts, catering to commercial, industrial, and utility needs. 

Possibilities with ReFlex

There are more energy companies like BYD Energy Storage, Samsung SDI  and VoltStorage that are making leaps in energy storage innovation.
