Stanford University scientists have proposed a design strategy for electrolytes that enable anode-free Li metal batteries with single-solvent single-salt formations at standard concentrations. A lithium metal battery can hold about twice as much electricity per kilogram as today’s conventional lithium-ion battery.

Researchers at Tsinghua University have compared the performance of two different powertrains for fuel cell hybrid buses. Both use a PEMFC system and a LiMn 2 O 4 lithium-ion battery system. Powertrain A—with the centralized IM—is low cost and easier to install in a conventional vehicle. Click to enlarge.

It was the most difficult chemistry” to make work but had potential benefits due to calcium’s low cost as well as its inherent high voltage as a negative electrode. But in this case, the researchers found that multiple ions in the molten-salt electrolyte contribute to the flow, boosting the battery’s overall energy output.

So I think top universities, government labs, industry folks, lots of equipment. One, we just did a workshop at the University of— sorry, North Carolina State University about that very problem, right? One is to get low-cost scientific tools like the 3D printer. So what we’re starting with is a low-cost 3D printer.
