Company Overview
Microtron Technologies is a leading developer of advanced storage system technology. Microtron is a leading developer of advanced energy storage solutions based on patent-protected technology. Microtron’s energy storage solution is ideal for range of applications as it enables high energy content, high power, long cycle life, fast recharging, and unparalleled safety. The proprietary battery technology is based on a novel method to build high-surface area electrodes, which dramatically improves, by at least 50%, every performance characteristic such as energy density, specific energy, specific power, safety, cycle life, and charging time, all at a lower cost. The novel battery configuration is amenable to every type of anode, cathode, or the electrolyte and is “chemistry agnostic”. It is also suitable to build hybrid Li-ion/EDLC devices. The Microtron solution is the only concept patented to date that enables the best characteristics of both Li-ion batteries and electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLS) to be fully exploited. Furthermore, the energy storage solution, ESS, is integrated into a smart system comprising advanced controls, cell balancing, array of sensors that monitor the battery performance, and smooth communication with the user.
