Global Patents Secured, Paving the Way for Scalable, Century-Long Energy Solutions

Helsinki, Finland – January 26, 2026:

BroadBit Batteries Oy, a leader in innovative energy storage solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking ProLynx™ electrolyte, designed to enable the production of low-cost, high-performance supercapacitors (supercaps). With patents now accepted globally, including in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, this "oxidized table-salt" based formulation addresses a critical barrier in supercap technology, unlocking their potential for widespread adoption in renewable energy storage.

As renewable energy sources like solar and wind increasingly dominate global electricity generation, the need for efficient, durable storage solutions has never been greater. Supercapacitors excel in powering high-performance electronics and enduring millions of charge-discharge cycles, far outlasting traditional lithium-ion batteries. However, high electrolyte costs have historically limited supercaps to niche applications. ProLynx™ changes this paradigm by delivering ultra-low-cost production without compromising performance, potentially achieving cost parity on a $/kWh basis and enabling day-night buffering systems with century-long lifespans."BroadBit Batteries' ProLynx™ electrolyte is the missing piece in the puzzle for scalable supercap manufacturing," said David Brown, CEO of BroadBit Batteries. "By using cheap, widely available raw materials like oxidized table salt, we've created a high-solubility, high-conductivity solution that's degradation-free across the full 2.7V operating window. This not only ensures exceptional power capability, with conductivity exceeding 30 mS/cm at every state of charge, but also provides in-situ current collector passivization for unparalleled cycle and calendar life. With global patents now in place, we're ready to partner with manufacturers worldwide to drive the transition to sustainable energy storage."Key features of ProLynx™ include:

  • Cost-Effective Scalability: Sourced from abundant raw materials, ensuring secure supply chains and mass production at low costs.
  • Superior Performance: High ionic conductivity over wide temperature and concentration ranges, supporting high-capacity electrode charging.
  • Long-Term Reliability: Electrochemical stability and passivization features that eliminate recycling concerns and deliver decades of service.
  • Environmental Benefits: Ideal for smoothing renewable energy fluctuations, reducing reliance on lithium-ion batteries and promoting a greener grid.

BroadBit Batteries invites industry partners, manufacturers, and innovators to explore collaboration opportunities, including electrolyte purchases, technology licensing, joint production, or customized formulations. This launch positions supercaps as a viable alternative for short-term energy storage, offering the lowest levelized cost of storage and a pathway to never running out of reliable power.
