0:33 "So, what kinds of batteries am I keeping an ion". hahaha, I see what you did there. 😜
-
Lithium is not rare, it is in fact very plentiful but because of its reactability and solubility is not found in nuggets like gold and similar metals. It is ten times more abundant than tin.
-
0:32 “Keeping an ion” 😂
-
0:30 "Keeping an I-On". Nice pun.
-
Cheaper batteries as long as the efficiency is good even if the energy density is not great is an interesting thing for prototyping, DIY, off-grid home applications!
-
Thanks for sharing this Matt. Cheers.
-
Thanks for doing the research. Some interesting stuff in there.
-
Excellent report and research, well done.
-
Sodium Ion tech is still the one that I'm the most excited about. Safe batteries that are easy to make with abundant materials? Hell yeah.
-
Some time ago I read about this thing called Pumped Heat, which stores energy as heat but by the compression of a gas to create that heat and an expansion side to create a cold side. So here it isnt really storing energy as heat, but more accurately as a temperature difference. Its a closed system too
-
Why did you not give an update on Form Energy's iron-air storage batteries? They say: 1) Stores energy at less than 1/10th the cost of lithium-ion battery technology. 2) Delivers 100+ hour duration required to make wind, water, and solar reliable, year round, anywhere in the world. So, for home or grid storage, it sounds like they are better than all 5 of the ones listed here, eh?
-
Thanx. Besides the Sodium battery, I'm waiting to the iron-air battery by Form Energy.
-
I read about nuclear waste being used as very-long-life batteries. I believe I remember the article saying they couldn't be made bigger than AA batteries at present. The promise seems almost too good to be true, but then I'm noticing that science, imagination and the rate of knowledge growth has added the "almost" to "too good to be true" so I hope.
-
This is huge ! Removing lithium from the equation is a game changer in long term storage. Obviously were years away from out of the box residential systems. In 5 to 10 years things could really be different. Its very exciting to me. Ty Matt as always ! Looking forward to the follow ups on this one
-
What interests me is the sand batteries. They can be heated in various ways, such as solar, gas, or geothermal. The output is electricity at 90% efficiency. What was not mentioned was the optimum temperature ranges for getting electricity out. Is the temperature metal melting, or could it be something closer to boiling water?
-
New intro song slaps, old one was good, but this one is a nice change.
-
Thanks for keeping us up to date. Striking is Amprius Silicon battery at 500Wh/kg achieves to critical performance for aviation. That's game changing.
-
Great video! For some reason the use of the word "salt" instead of Sodium bothered me =D There is no reason to consider Sodium more or less of a salt than Lithium from a chemical perspective.
-
Matt the most challenging metals in battery are copper and aluminium and steel for the casing. For NMC Nickel is important for LFP Iron is the replacement. The lithium is 10% by weight of these other metals. This is the same for Sodium as a replacement for lithium.
