energy-efficient heating
precisely where it’s needed


extending EV range through
smarter cabin heating
Problem
electric vehicles lose 15–30% of driving range in winter from inefficient cabin heating
Today, cabin heating of electric vehicles uses battery power to heat up and circulate air in the whole cabin, a wasteful and energy-intensive approach.
Solution
qCella’s radiation heating technology makes EV cabin heating up to 50% more efficient and extends driving range 10-25%

Designed to fit every surface, the qCella heating mat is paper-thin, light, flexible and can be customized post-fabrication into virtually any shape or size.

Unlike conventional surface radiation heating elements, the qCella heating mats are produced using the inherently scalable, cost-efficient processes of paper manufacturing.
Beyond heating in mobility
Interested in heating your filter papers for adsorption-desorption applications? Or tired of maintenance-heavy hot water-based heating in food processing?

Further use cases
For specialty paper manufacturers: our copper-cellulose fiber innovations are directly applicable to existing paper manufacturing processes.
For polymer compound manufacturers: our copper-cellulose innovations can be used as electrically conductive additives (e.g. electromagnetic shielding applications).
