VivaSpire开发和商业化可穿戴式连续流动氧气发生器，它使用钴**络合物氟作为可逆结合氧气的材料。低温摄氧量和高温释氧量**是通过循环控制氟素球的温度来控制的。目前使用的氟材料的一个重要缺陷是其循环时的长期稳定性有限，这降低了设备在设定寿命内可能的循环速率。该项目的目标是通过控制晶体材料的大小和结构来开发**能够在较低温度下释放氧气的氟材料。释放温度的降低**有望提高氟材料的长期稳定性，并降低设备的**功耗。稳定性的提高还可能允许在摄取和**释放之间进行更快的循环，从而减少设备所需的氟化氢的量，并降低其总体重量和成本。

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.
