battery energies are moving from lithium-ion to solid-state batteries, they are a form of new energy away from fossil fuels, clean(er) energy
different batteries technologies:
- solid-state batteries (i.e employed by quantamscape - no fully working protocol yet as of now)
- sodium-ion batteries (i.e CATL, chinese battery giant)
- stationary storage via iron-air (i.e Form Energy)
some startups:
- Sila, partnering with Mercedes-Benz to produce materials for EV batteries starting in 2025.
macro:
- more funds and loans/grants to battery makers in US through IRA
economics of batteries:
- it is a cost game. game to further eke out greater performance at lower costs
curiosities and qns:
- find out what is solid state batteries or solid state technology
- what makes up a battery fundamentally
