Lithium metal batteries, built on anodes we deposit ourselves.

FLUX produces uniform ultra-thin lithium metal anodes by vacuum physical vapor deposition, and the high energy density cells that run on them.

“Safer, For Longer.”

We aim to be a global leader in next-generation energy storage, redefining robotics, drones, and future mobility through sustainable lithium metal technology that unites performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.

FLUX Corporation, founded July 2024 in Cheonan, Republic of Korea.

A uniform lithium film is the whole problem.

Conventional lithium metal anodes deposit unevenly. The rough surface seeds dendrites, dendrites pierce the separator, and the cell fails. Our vacuum PVD process lays down a film flat enough that the dendrites never start.

Conventional lithium metal anode

  • Non-uniform films that seed dendrite growth
  • Particle formation during deposition
  • Thickness limited to under 20 µm
  • Width limited to under 100 mm
