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.

SolidEnergy says that its Solid Polymer Ionic Liquid technology can deliver energy densities upwards of 800 Wh/kg—twice the densities of advanced startup batteries and four times the density of current conventional batteries. Additionally, both A123 and SolidEnergy began with MIT research, making this partnership a natural fit.

Pellion Technologies, a startup commercializing magnesium-ion battery technology ( earlier post ), announced an investment by Motorola Solutions. Because magnesium is divalent, it can displace double the charge per ion (i.e., Mg 2+ rather than Li + ). As an element, magnesium is much more abundant than lithium, and more stable.
