FluoRok received a €2.5 million European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator grant to develop and scale its technology for producing fluorochemicals used in lithium-ion batteries.
FluoRok’s technology, developed at the University of Oxford, replaces the traditional hazardous hydrogen fluoride (HF)-based process for producing fluorochemicals.
FluoRok, founded by Professor Véronique Gouverneur and Dr Gabriele Pupo, secured £3 million in funding to advance its sustainable fluorochemical production technology.
FluoRok relocated to ARC (Advanced Research Clusters) Oxford to expand laboratory capacity and accelerate commercialization of its fluorination technology.
