Startup Xerion Advanced Battery Profiled in Daily Illini

EnterpriseWorks startup Xerion Advanced Battery was profiled on the front page of today’s Daily Illini. The company is commercializing next generation battery technology developed by Prof. Paul Braun, a Materials Science and Engineering faculty member.

Although the new technology can charge a battery faster, it will not impede the function of batteries in products as they function now,
