With principals having ties to Texas A&M, Flexodes Inc is structured around improving lithium-based battery technology particularly for use in electric cars. Arguing that their technology could make the vehicles cheaper and capable of much larger storage capacity, the focus is on development on a lithium-sulfur battery versus lithium-ion batteries currently commercially available. Suggesting improvement in energy density by two-five times - such a battery could have major environmental impact by making electric cars more affordable, efficient, and practical and - thereby - a more attractive purchase to consumers. Principals also suggest longer duration on a single charge; major reduction of environmental impact of discarded batteries; battery made with environmentally friendlier materials and also less prone to catch fire.
