Description

Luquos Energy focuses on innovation of advanced battery technology, providing inherently safe, low-cost, and eco-friendly energy storage systems. The team was founded in Hong Kong in 2020, led by Prof. Yi-Chun Lu, Professor in Mechanical and Automation Department of CUHK. The company was admitted into the incubation program at HKSTP and The Chinese University of Hong Kong. 
 
Luquos Energy focuses on core material technologies in batteries. The flow battery uses earth-abundant active materials and aqueous electrolytes for energy storage, which is low-cost, inherently safe, and eco-friendly. With the new ion-exchange membrane developed by the team, cross-over contamination in the flow battery is eliminated, dramatically improving the flow battery's lifetime. During the charge-discharge cycling test, the battery shows no decay after 3000 cycles, with an estimated cycle life of over 15 years. 
 
Based on this technology, the team has developed a flow battery prototype with a designed power scale of 300W. The team is currently developing a kW-scale flow battery prototype, which can be potentially used in fields of renewable energy storage, uninterruptable power source, smart microgrid, electric vehicle charge, etc.
