Semi conductor fab technology could play a deciding role in this. This energy density change, could be a game changer for everything from cell phones to aircraft. Any thoughts or opinions on this welcome and wanted.
Amazing if they really succeed at the level they claim. This is a domain that has struggled to breakout of slow incremental growth in capability. I still wonder why super-capacitor solutions haven't got more traction.
Supercapacitors are big capacitors and their energy density is higher than more traditional capacitors, but their energy density is still just 1/10th a lithium-ion battery and 1/100th of kerosene converted into electricity.
If they can get this battery technology out of the labs and into commercial use then certainly the automotive and electrical grid backup applications would be tremendous.
Two words in that article are pretty scary: "thermodynamic instability". Energy densities go up and so does explosiveness. Fortunately in EV applications there is some room to spread it out.
Interesting company. So they're saying: advanced battery development/manufacturing isn't hard enough, and there isn't enough money in that market. So what the hell , let's also become a car company, as a side job.
And since we have such a great offer , why get investors and share the profit with them , let's just do a crowdfunding:
