Bettergy Corporation was established to conceive, develop and commercialize innovative energy storage and environmental technologies that serve the needs of military and the general public. Battergy's expertise are nanostructured electrode materials with superior electrochemical properties such as nanorods, nanodots, and mesoporous materials. Bettergy's research focus is on zinc-based rechargeable battery technology for electric energy storage applications with the aim to scale up its prototype for a low-cost battery that can last up to twenty years. Another area of expertise is membrane separation technology as applicable to batteries, fuel cells and gas separation.The companys long term goal, as a technology incubator, is to build a profitable business through technological innovation, spin-off and technology out-license. Bettergy has close collaborative relationships with Cornell University, University of Cincinnati, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rutgers University and engineering talent and other resources from these universities is available for technological development.
