Interested in learning more?
Here are some books which I recommend to learn more about the history of batteries and how they've impacted the world
📚 Volt Rush: The Winners and Losers in the Race to Go Green - Henry Sanderson - amzn.to/4cJ8lB2
📚 The Powerhouse: America, China, and the Great Battery War - Steve LeVine - amzn.to/4bqwRWx
📚 Climate Capitalism: Winning the Global Race to Zero Emissions - Akshat Rathi - amzn.to/3xEjmEK
Solid-state lithium-metal batteries have the potential to be more energy dense, safer and faster charging than traditional lithium-ion batteries but what is the science behind them, potential of the technology and challenges.
Here in this video we'll cover how solid-state lithium-metal batteries work, the different configurations/materials and reflect on practical considerations towards understanding how feasible the technology actually is.
