Read original articleA U.S.-based company, Moleaer Inc., has developed a patent-pending nanobubble technology that significantly enhances the performance of thin-film coatings used in lithium-ion batteries, PEM fuel cells, green hydrogen systems, and water filtration membranes. By integrating billions of nanobubbles into liquid coatings during fabrication, this method improves porosity, dispersion, and structural uniformity of the films without altering their chemical composition. This results in up to a 66% increase in water permeability for ultrafiltration membranes, a 20% boost in power output for PEM fuel cells, and a 17% improvement in current density for hydrogen electrolyzers, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving economic viability.
In lithium-ion batteries, the nanobubble-enhanced films enable faster charging, better capacity retention, and improved performance under high-demand conditions, contributing to longer battery life. The technology has been independently validated and can be integrated into existing manufacturing processes without major overhauls, facilitating easier adoption. Moleaer
