A123 Venture Technologies, a Massachusetts-based technology incubator, will collaborate with MIT startup SolidEnergy. The partnership combines SolidEnergy’s Solid Polymer Ionic Liquid (SPIL) electrolyte—originally developed at MIT—with the mature cell design and prototyping capabilities of A123. Source: SolidEnergy.

Moreover, the performance of the membrane surpasses those of rechargeable batteries, such as lithium ion and lead-acid batteries, and supercapacitors. The research is supported by grants from the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research & Technology (SMART) (Ignition Grant ING10022-ENG(IGN)), and National Research Foundation.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? 80 miles was the range of the EV1 with Lead Acid batteries, that GM tried to use because they wanted the project to fail. it was the first batch of EV1s that they tried to use lead acid batteries and developed problems.
