It turns out that hydrogel has binding sites that latch onto silicon particles really well and at the same time provide channels for the fast transport of electrons and lithium ions. Hydrogel primarily consists of water, which can cause lithium-ion batteries to ignite—a potential problem that the research team had to address.

Stamped grid plates on top will bring power back to terminals. That vision includes not just 4680 factories adjacent to car plants near Austin and Berlin but also chemical plants to produce cathodes and lithium hydroxide, according to Simon Moores, managing director of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.

There are companies that are reinventing the lead-acid battery to make it more competitive with lithium-ion and nickel metal hydride in terms of storage capacity versus weight, durability, and cold weather performance. Wind, hydro, DC transmission lines, and smart grid electronics are also Portland strengths. In the U.S.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Posted by: Pete Austin | Apr 14, 2009 9:46:22 AM @ Joe I am one of the first to say end the income tax and property tax on houses and cars (not land). Forget the black helicopter conspiracies. Interesting in any case. Fisker is a good example.
