“Anthro’s strategy of delivering revolutionary battery technology in a differentiated product is very compelling.
“We are excited by their approach that uses a scalable engineering process to solve the challenges of both today’s and tomorrow’s lithium-ion batteries.” “Anthro’s highly tunable electrolyte technology enables high conductivity, strength, safety, and stability in next-generation batteries.” said Peter Robson, managing director of Energy Revolution Ventures, a UK-based venture capital firm focused on funding electrochemistry technologies. The high scalability of the technology will enable lower capital expenditure, a quicker time to market, and ultimately lower cost than competing technologies. Unlike many other solutions for creating next-generation batteries, Anthro’s technology is completely compatible with existing battery manufacturing lines. Safety and mechanical stability are core challenges facing the next-generation of high-performance batteries, and we have a solution for that.” “Our materials can impart safety and structural integrity to batteries of any chemistry, for any application. “The exciting thing about our technology is its versatility,” said Anthro’s CTO and co-founder Dr. Anthro is currently providing prototypes to several partners developing a wide range of wearable products.īeyond flexible batteries, Anthro’s polymer engineering platform provides avenues to create improved energy storage devices for applications of all sizes. The initial markets for flexible batteries include wearables and medical devices, where today’s batteries throttle device performance and create bulky, uncomfortable experiences for the user. These flexible batteries can be integrated into ‘dead space’ of devices such as straps, bands, and substrates to create 2-5 fold improvements in run time and functionality. Our vision is to enable a world where safe, structurally stable batteries are embedded everywhere, for a clean, connected society.”Īnthro currently utilizes its core polymer technology in its line of flexible battery products. “Our technology uniquely enables us to put batteries in places they have never gone before. David Mackanic, founder and CEO of Anthro. The ability to pack more battery power into a device is transformative for any application,” said Dr. “At Anthro, we think differently about what the future of energy storage looks like.
The result is an energy source that can be designed into a device, rather than a design hindrance. These battery cells withstand mechanical deformation, and are completely safe. To solve these issues, Anthro has developed a novel polymer engineering platform to enable the world’s first ‘structural’ batteries. But today’s bulky, rigid batteries are difficult to integrate into electronics of all sizes, and they present serious safety hazards including fires and chemical leakage. Lithium-ion batteries are at the heart of the electrify-everything revolution. The capital will accelerate the commercialization of Anthro’s core battery technology platform for applications ranging from wearables to mobility and beyond. Union Square Ventures and Energy Revolution Ventures co-led the financing, with participation from Voyager Ventures, Emerson Collective, Nor’Easter Ventures, Ultratech Capital Partners, and the Stanford President’s Venture Fund. (PRWEB) October 19, 2022Īnthro Energy, Inc., an advanced battery technology company, today announced the closing of an oversubscribed $7.2M seed round.
