24M emerges from stealth mode with new semi-solid Li-ion cell; <$100/kWh by 2020

Green Car Congress

Stealth-mode battery start-up 24M has introduced its new semi-solid lithium-ion cell. Together, our inventions achieve what lithium-ion has yet to do—meet the ultra-low cost targets of the grid and transportation industries. The lithium-ion battery is a brilliant, enabling technology, but its economics are flawed.

New Lithium rechargeable semi-solid flow cell offers energy densities an order of magnitude greater than previous flow batteries; possible applications in transportation and grid-scale storage

Green Car Congress

Scheme of the semi-solid flow cell (SSFC) system using flowing lithium-ion cathode and anode suspensions. In contrast to previous flow batteries, the SSFC stores energy in suspensions of solid storage compounds to and from which charge transfer is accomplished via dilute yet percolating networks of nanoscale conductors.
