The round was led by Fine Structure Ventures, with participation from Eight Roads, Foothill Ventures, MassVentures, EPS Ventures, and Valkyrie Fund. The new funding will allow Feon to expand its world-class R&D team, scale up its high-throughput molecular discovery platform, and accelerate commercial engagement with leading battery and automotive players. “Electrolytes are the key enabler for unlocking next-generation batteries but have been a major bottleneck holding back their commercialization,” said […] - [Shell GameChanger selects Feon for its program to advance clean technologies](https://feonenergy.com/2024/04/08/shell-gamechanger-selects-feon-for-its-program-to-advance-clean-technologies/) - [Feon achieves major technical milestone, manufacturing 100 kilograms of advanced battery electrolytes](https://feonenergy.com/2024/03/21/feon-achieves-milestone-manufacturing-100-kilograms-electrolytes/): Feon Energy has successfully scaled production of its lithium-metal electrolytes to 100 kilograms, marking a significant step toward commercialization and large-scale deployment. This milestone represents a 100-fold increase in production capacity in just six months, demonstrating Feon’s ability to rapidly scale manufacturing and drive down production costs. At this production level, Feon’s advanced electrolytes can enable MWh battery production, meeting growing demand for high-performance, next-generation battery solutions. The company’s drop-in electrolyte technology seamlessly integrates into existing battery manufacturing processes, reducing barriers to adoption for cell manufacturers. “The pilot production of hundreds of kilograms of electrolytes marked a critical milestone for […] - [Feon achieves UN 38.3 safety certification for lithium-metal batteries](https://feonenergy.com/2023/11/23/feon-achieves-un-38-3-safety-certification-for-lithium-metal-batteries/): Since launching in late 2022, Feon has rapidly achieved key technical milestones. As its first product, Feon has developed lithium-metal batteries with energy densities over 400 Wh/kg, a 50% improvement over today’s lithium-ion batteries. The company has begun to ship such pre-A samples to leading automotive, aviation, and consumer electronics customers. Critically, these lithium-metal cells have obtained UN 38.3 safety certification – an international standard for safely transporting lithium batteries. Meeting UN 38.3 requirements through rigorous third-party testing confirms that Feon’s batteries can withstand extreme conditions like short-circuiting, crushing, vibration, forced discharge, and exposure to high temperatures. This critically important […] - [Feon achieves UN 38.3 safety certification for lithium-metal batteries](https://feonenergy.com/2023/11/23/feon-achieves-38-3-safety-certification/): Since launching in late 2022, Feon has rapidly achieved key technical milestones.
