Flow-nano, an innovative startup developing high-performance nanomaterial electrodes for flow batteries, has secured a €1 million investment from Tech4Planet to scale its technology and enhance energy storage solutions in Italy.

Target Information

Flow-nano is an innovative startup founded in June 2023, focusing on the development of high-performance electrodes based on nanomaterials for stationary batteries. The company's proprietary technology leverages sustainable methods to produce and deposit spherical carbon nanoparticles, known as carbon-nano onions, onto carbon substrates. This process significantly enhances the electrochemically active surface area, thereby improving battery performance.

The primary focus of Flow-nano is on flow batteries, which represent one of the most promising technologies for renewable energy storage. Although these batteries are characterized by their scalability, safety, and exceptional lifespan—exceeding 20,000 cycles—their widespread adoption has been hindered by high costs, typically associated with non-optimized electrodes.
