Fluomine crystals of defined size and narrow size distribution

VivaSpire develops and commercializes wearable continuous-flow oxygen generators that use the cobalt**complex Fluomine as the material that reversibly binds oxygen. Oxygen uptake at low temperature and release**at high temperature is controlled by cycling the temperature of Fluomine pellets. An important deficiency of the**presently used Fluomine material is its limited long-term stability when cycled, which reduces the possible**cycling rates for a set lifespan in the device. The objective of this project is to develop Fluomine materials that**release oxygen at lower temperatures by controlling size and structure of the crystalline material. A reduction**of the release temperature is expected to increase long-term stability of the Fluomine material and decrease**power consumption of the device. An increase in stability may also allow for faster cycling between uptake and**release, which reduces the amount of Fluomine required for a device and reduces its overall weight and cost.
