Metal-air energy · METU spin-out · ODTÜ Teknokent

The materials behind the next metal-air battery.

Zinc-air cells with a flowing-electrolyte architecture, non-precious high-entropy oxide catalysts, and operando measurement cells — a METU spin-out scaling from single cells toward stacks and full systems.

Portfolio

Products for metal-air energy and electrocatalysis.

Three product lines, available for evaluation and supply. Each can be tailored — chemistry, format, composition and characterisation to your protocol.

Product 01 · Batteries

Zinc-air battery cells

High-energy-density zinc-air cells in two architectures, built for research and pre-commercial testing.

Flowing-electrolyte cell (flagship)

Circulates the electrolyte to suppress dendrite growth and anode passivation — extending cycle life and enabling stable rechargeable operation. An integrated optical window turns the cell into a characterization platform.

Non-flowing cell

A compact, sealed configuration for applications where footprint and simplicity matter more than maximum cycle life — the same bifunctional air-cathode and engineered-anode chemistry.

Product 02 · Catalysts

Metal oxide catalysts

Multi-cation, non-precious catalysts — engineered, not off-the-shelf — for bifunctional oxygen and hydrogen electrocatalysis.

Operando cells

Measurement cells that let you watch electrochemistry as it happens — designed for in-situ optical access.

Optical microscopy

Transparent window for live imaging of the electrode surface under load.

Raman spectroscopy

Optical path tuned for in-situ Raman collection.

Technology

From the electrode to the system.

Our flagship chemistry is zinc-air — a zinc anode paired with an air-breathing cathode — under the wider metal-air umbrella that also frames our catalyst and operando platform. Our work spans the full chain from single cell to integrated system.

01

Zinc-air & metal-air chemistry

Air-breathing cathodes paired with a zinc anode for high theoretical energy density, in flowing and non-flowing electrolyte designs — with metal-air as the wider platform.

02

Non-precious catalysis

High-entropy perovskite, spinel and sulfide oxides — plus MOF-based and hybrid catalysts — replace precious metals, with activity tuned through composition, cation ratios and heat treatment.

03

Operando insight

In-situ optical and Raman access lets us — and you — observe reaction mechanisms directly, closing the loop on materials design.
