We have achieved in the lab 5,000 to 10,000 charge cycles in a battery’s lifetime, compared with 2,000 to 3,000 charging cycles for even the best in class now, and we don’t see any fundamental limit to scaling up our battery technology. That could be a game changer. —Xin Li. —Luhan Ye, now CTO of Adden Energy.

Solar radiation management (SRM) is one of the geoengineering techniques proposed as a potential means of offsetting some of the anthropogenic radiative forcing of climate as a means to reduce climate change. Contrary to some claims, they note, this could provide meaningful tests of the climate’s response to SRM within a decade.
