Illumion (www.illumion.io) revolutionizes how we develop better batteries faster through our groundbreaking Charge Photometry technology. Spun out from the University of Cambridge in 2022, Illumion’s innovative imaging solution offers a rapid, affordable, and lab-based microscopy platform, enabling previously inaccessible real-time visualization of energy storage within batteries with single-particle resolution. By directly addressing the lack of insight and throughput of current testing methods, illumion re-defines material discovery and drives advancements in the development of high-performance battery materials.
