[Andreas](https://rivus-batteries.com/news-insights/author/andreas) Dec 21, 2024, 3:20:06 AM ![Rivus Teambild](https://rivus-batteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Rivus%20Teambild.jpg?width=1468&height=1080&name=Rivus%20Teambild.jpg) *Our team has grown, we’ve advanced our R&D and battery testing and taken steps towards our first pilot installation in 2025. Key Highlights of the year:* - Chemical Development: We’ve designed, synthesized and tested a range of promising redox-active molecules, developing a higher-performing electrolyte formulation than we had previously. - Intellectual Property: We’ve filed for three additional patents covering the use (and reuse) of our electrolytes for flow batteries. - Expanded R&D & Battery Testing: We now run eight parallel lab batteries, soon expanding to 24. This enables us to monitor more variables, accelerate our development and do more rigorous testing. - Chemical Scale-up Toward Pilot Installation: We are now synthesizing 100s of kilos of our organic molecules with our chemical suppliers, preparing for our first pilot installation in 2025. - Advanced Testing Setup: Our new and improved testing setup allows us to run our lab-scale flow batteries in a completely oxygen-free atmosphere without using expensive gloveboxes – stay tuned for updates! - Constant Power Cycling: We’ve explored testing our batteries using Constant Power Cycling at different temperatures which allows us to imitate how the batteries are used commercially. ![lab](https://rivus-batteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/lab.jpg?width=346&height=433&name=lab.jpg) - New Partnerships: We’ve strengthened our value chain and network with valuable LOIs for commercial partnerships, welcomed [Niclas Davidsson](https://www.linkedin.com/in/niclas-davidsson-a7951b/) to our Board of directors and professor [Henrik Sundén](https://www.linkedin.com/in/henrik-sund%C3%A9n-a025504b/) to Rivus’ Advisory Board, as well as becoming a member of the West Swedish Chemical and Material Cluster. - Team Growth: Our team has grown from two to five full-time team members during 2024, plus a few consultants and master students! We’ve also moved into our own 220 m2 office and lab. - Recognition: Rivus has been featured in five newspaper articles, including GöteborgsPosten, [Dagens Industri](https://www.linkedin.com/company/dagens-industri/), [Aktuell Hållbarhet](https://www.linkedin.com/company/aktuell-h%C3%A5llbarhet/), [Castellum](https://www.linkedin.com/company/castellum-ab/) and [Tidningen Energi](https://www.linkedin.com/company/tidningenenergi/). We also won four awards, including the E-prize, The Business Booster by [EIT InnoEnergy](https://www.linkedin.com/company/eitinnoenergy/), [Sting](https://www.linkedin.com/company/stingsthlm/) Climate Race, and the [Vinnova](https://www.linkedin.com/company/vinnova/) pitch competition at The Tech Arena. ![GP](https://rivus-batteries.com/hs-fs/hubfs/GP.jpg?width=322&height=403&name=GP.jpg) This has been a year full of challenges and progress to say the least and we look forward to an even more eventful 2025. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey.
