The quinone–hydroquinone reaction is about 1,000 times faster than the rival vanadium reaction, allowing the battery to charge and discharge rapidly.

The company said it will use the funds to scale up its redox flow battery technology based on 2,6-dihydroxy-anthraquinone (DHAQ) – or more simply, anthraquinone or quinone.

At low pH, hydroquinone is predominant and as a poor electron acceptor this results in low QD photoluminescence (PL) quenching. As pH increases, ambient O2 in the buffer oxidizes dopamine ...
