Battery Researchers Keep Coming Up With New Breakthroughs
Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest December 21st, 2017 by Steve Hanley Batteries are the key to the zero carbon future, there's little argument about that. But today's batteries are less than ideal in many respects.
From article, (The Glass Battery Moving Toward Production
John Goodenough, the man who invented the lithium ion battery but has never seen a dime from his discovery, was back in the news last spring with an announcement that he and his team at the University of Texas have developed the first working prototype of a true solid state battery, one that uses a special glass as an electrolyte.
Since then, Goodenough has been working at securing patents and working with a number of battery manufacturers to commercialize the technology for transportation and grid storage applications. “We believe our discovery solves many of the problems that are inherent in today’s batteries,” Goodenough said in a statement. “Cost, safety, energy density, rates of charge and discharge and cycle life are critical for battery-driven cars to be more widely adopted.”)
