Eonix

Interested in learning more about our recent AFWERX with Tickle College of Engineering at the University of Tennessee award to rapidly develop next gen electrolytes to power lasers? Check out Inside Unmanned Systems article by Sebastien Roblin that takes an in depth look at our unique approach to designing materials for batteries.

We are excited to announce Eonix was awarded a $1.7M AFWERX phase II STTR with the Tickle College of Engineering at the University of Tennessee and Dr. Thomas Zawodzinski's research group focused on ultra-high-power batteries for directed energy, counter drone swarms, and e-VTOL systems. The funds will be used to design high conductivity electrolytes that are drop-in compatible with batteries manufactured today and meet the ambitious DoD energy storage targets for next gen platforms. We appreciate the support of the programs (Innovation Crossroads, Spark Innovation Center at the UT Research Park, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, UT Research Park at Cherokee Farm) and individuals (Lilly, Tom, John, Grady, Dennis) that were instrumental in helping us to establish an accelerated materials discovery laboratory capable of tackling these energy storage challenges! Also special thanks to J. Dana Teague at the United States Department of the Air Force for supporting and working with us on this project.

We appreciated hosting Three Roots Capital at our Lab! The support provided by Grady, Dennis, and the #3Roots team was critical in allowing Eonix to develop the first end-to-end automated laboratory for energy storage materials discovery this past year. This lab has only been fully end-to-end operational for one quarter and we have already discovered new approaches to materials design that have resulted in significant improvements to our existing portfolio of chemistries! Thank you Three Roots Capital for helping make these advances possible!

We appreciated having Daniel Dassow with Knoxville News Sentinel come by and tour our accelerated materials discovery lab that was open to the media for the first time! "In just 1,000 square feet, Eonix can go from idea to finished product in a fraction of the typical time and cost, thanks to custom-built robots and an advanced sensor. In the lab, a handful of scientists oversee selection and testing of new liquid electrolytes that alter a battery's properties once injected."

Appreciate John Biggs having our CEO and co-founder Don DeRosa on the Keep Going podcast.

We appreciate PCMag.com highlighting the development of our next generation lithium ion batteries that are safer, but most importantly scalable! Our electrolyte is truly drop-in compatible with commercial off the shelf (COTS) batteries manufactured today. This electrolyte requires no changes to electrode coating, cell architecture, or assembly process resulting in a scalable, economically viable solution for the Department of Defense and beyond.

We appreciate Popular Mechanics Magazine mentioning the development of our Non-flammable lithium ion battery electrolyte in their article below. This electrolyte is drop-in compatible with commercial off the shelf (COTS) batteries manufactured today and has demonstrated a significant improvement in safety, allowing the Department of Defense to harness the advantages of lithium ion batteries without introducing strategic vulnerabilities stemming from thermal runaway.

Eonix is at #ces2024 in Las Vegas with the Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP)! 📍 Visit our Founder Don DeRosa at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) booth located at #10177 in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center on the Tech East campus on Jan. 10 from 10:15 a.m. to noon. Eonix will be discussing the opening of the world’s first end-to-end autonomous battery lab that pairs real time advanced materials measurements with the deep learning/quantum mechanics calculations to shrink battery scientific breakthroughs from decades to months. We appreciate the Innovation Crossroads program, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the invitation!
