UniEnergy Technologies

The company was founded in 2012 by Dr. Gary Yang and Dr. Liyu Li to commercialize a new Vanadium electrolyte formulation the pair had developed while working at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.

[3] The company had designed a megawatt-scale flow battery using this new electrolyte for the purpose of allowing rapid deployment, manufacturing repeatability and lower costs.

[4] The company also employed an R&D team which worked to make advances on the electrolyte chemistry and stack design.

[1][5] In December 2015 the company completed their B round funding series which included a major investment from Orix Corp.[6] In October 2021, UniEnergy filed for involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy, listing no assets or debts.

This product was sized to be a building block for commercial and utility scale deployments from kilowatts to multi-megawatt installations.
