M-SPIN: REVOLUTIONISING HIGH SURFACE AREA METALS

M-Spin is a materials technology company developing ultra-high surface area metallic materials.

 

The heart of our technology are Nanofibrous Metallic Felts with >1000 times the surface area of competing products.

 

We are the only company in the world that can produce nanofibrous metal materials in mechanically durable sheets using a low cost and highly scalable process.

 

Our materials enable the development of next-generation energy storage and conversion devices, superior electronics cooling, and new chemical synthesis pathways.

ULTRA-HIGH SURFACE AREA NANOFIBROUS METALLIC FELTS

M-Spin's ultra-high surface area nanofibrous metallic meshes are revolutionising electrochemistry, thermal management, and chemical synthesis with their exceptional surface area, conductivity and efficiency.

The nanofibrous sheets have a typical fibre diameter of 500 nanometers to 1 micron. Combined with up to 90% porosity this gives them exceptional surface area.

UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE

Our nanofibrous meshes have demonstrated clear advantages compared to traditional foams:

  • Water electrolysis: 20% green hydrogen cost reduction, resulting from an increased production rate (3-5×) and improved efficiency (+10%)
  • Rechargeable batteries: Significantly increased the attainable capacity for next-generation Li-S batteries
  • Redox-flow batteries: Increased power performance in polysulfide redox-flow batteries

 

We can overcome the limits imposed by traditional metal foams and current collectors to improve the performance of your device.

PROCESS FLEXIBILITY

Our patent-protected manufacturing process offers unprecedented flexibility, enabling us to tailor our product to your specific application and need:

  • Wide range of compositions: We can make metals (e.g. Ni, Fe, Cu…), metal alloys, and ceramics
  • Tunable macrostructure: We can control fibre size, shape, and pore geometries
  • Ready to scale: Our production method is low cost and highly scalable providing rapid avenue to high volume production

MECHANICALLY ROBUST; SCALABLE PRODUCTION

Nanofibrous meshes are mechanically robust and can bent, cut and trimmed. They can be easily integrated into a variety of cell architectures, and are "drop in", high performance, replacements for existing materials.

 

What's more they can be readily produced at large scale in an economically efficient, low waste process.​ We can rapidly scale to meet your production needs.
