South 8 Technologies

San Diego, California, United States
South 8 Technologies provides electrolyte formulations for next-generation lithium batteries. Unlike common battery electrolytes which are liquid at room temperature, or solid-state electrolytes under development, the team at South 8 Technologies is the first to develop and commercialize a novel, patented Liquefied Gas Electrolyte (LiGas®), for next-generation electrochemical energy storage devices. These non-toxic electrolytes use solvents that are normally gaseous at standard pressure and room temperature but may be liquefied under a moderate pressure and used as an electrolyte within the cell. South 8 Technologies was founded in 2015 and is based in San Diego, California.
