Power for demanding duty.
QED Technologies is developing a potassium-ion battery platform for applications where power, service life and predictable ageing matter.
Published international IPEntering independent validation
The QED platform
K⁺ / TiO₂ nano.
QED is investigating titanium dioxide nanostructures within a potassium-ion cell designed for demanding, repeated-duty applications.
The programme is at the architecture-development and validation stage. The website does not disclose the detailed internal architecture.
Development objectives
Power that keeps working.
QED is targeting demanding duties in which repeated power delivery, lifetime energy throughput and gradual degradation can create value.
01
High-rate performance
A development objective for repeated high-power charge and discharge.
02
Long cycle life
Targeting applications where lifetime throughput and replacement interval matter.
03
Graceful ageing
The objective is gradual, predictable performance decline rather than abrupt loss.
These are development objectives subject to independent validation. QED has not yet published validated commercial-cell performance data.
Commercial pathways
The first opportunity need not be automotive.
QED’s initial focus is on infrastructure and replacement duties where reliability, maintenance, service life and lifetime delivered energy may matter more than minimum cell mass.
Lead-acid replacement
The battery technology hidden in plain sight.
Potential duties include industrial backup, telecom and remote infrastructure, materials handling—and the low-voltage auxiliary battery still required inside electric vehicles.
Grid & renewables
Infrastructure buffering
Stationary systems where lifetime throughput and operational resilience can outweigh minimum weight.
Commercial systems
On-site resilience
Small commercial, microgrid and distributed-energy applications.
Behind the meter
Home and small-site backup
A later route conditional on full-cell safety, cost, qualification and warranty evidence.
Later-stage opportunity
Personal and light mobility
Relevant only after the platform clears energy, safety and manufacturing gates.
Validation-led development
Evidence first. Complexity later.
The programme is designed to establish a credible evidence package before advanced cell formats, scale-up or product qualification.
- Independent validationMaterials and electrochemical credibility.
- Application-oriented developmentPower, degradation and practical loading.
- Use-case demonstratorsApplication-specific prototypes.
- Qualification and partnershipsScale-up, certification and customer trials.
The sequence is evidence-gated. Results may cause the architecture, priorities or timetable to change.
Protected technical foundation
Published internationally. Moving into validation.
QED has established a published international patent position covering its potassium-ion battery platform, supported by continuing intellectual-property development in the United Kingdom.
No patent references or detailed implementation information are listed on this public website.
Work with QED
Building the evidence base.
QED welcomes discussions with academic groups, specialist materials and cell-development partners, infrastructure customers and investors who understand validation-led technology development.
