2023-09-03 Sodium Ion Batteries Could Be Ten Times Cheaper
Future Sodium Ion batteries could be ten times cheaper for energy storage. Quote: “”CATL’s first-generation sodium battery generates 160-watt-hours per kilogram. This is 10% less energy than iron LFP batteries and 40% less than mass produced nickel batteries. CATL plans to increase the energy density of next generation sodium ion to 200 Wh/kg.”” Future Sodium

This ‘free energy’ type of battery uses humid air to generate electricity. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/02/it-was-an-accident-the-scientists-who-have-turned-humid-air-into-renewable-power
2022-04-15 Hibernating Battery For Seasonal Storage
The PNNL claims this phase change energy storage can hibernate for long-term storage. They stated that the room temperature battery must be heated up to 150 deg C to bring it out of hibernation. There are a few problems that I see with this. The battery takes time and power to heat it up to

2022-03-26 Musk: Nickel Manganese Batteries
She said the one very important point at the end: << Estimates show that the world is going to need 300 terawatt-hours of battery cell production in order to transition fully to a sustainable future. That is an obscene figure. >> This is a obscenely huge amount of battery cells. This is why the world
