      She was throwing so much into the conversation that I didn't get to clarify the bounds of that $65 dollar figure. It might be the cell level for Roadrunner?
      Sulfur is a ways out. However, if they can show any progress on par with what they are doing with Lithium Metal, it will be huge. Lithium Metal with Sulfur would be beast mode!
      🤔 For large vehicles, a hybrid system makes more sense! Hmmm, or would that be the other way around. I'm not sure.
      It sounds like 400 is in the bag for 2025 Tesla vehicles (3-4 years plus Elon time). If so....holy sheeet.
      Yeah, I hope all the email she gets won't dissuade her from future interviews, lol.

    Love Shirley’s enthusiasm for grid storage. When you think about it at the base level, the sun bombards earth in humongous levels and so much gets radiated away into space that if we could store just a few percent more we would all be richer. Until now most of that storage has been in crops and food, we now have a path to so much more potential.

    I am a student from Pakistan, researching ways to develop a new material for battery anodes. With limited experience and knowledge, I’ve faced many challenges along the way. I decided to dope cerium in zinc sulfide, synthesized the material, and completed its XRD analysis. Now, just days before submitting my thesis and graduating, I came across this channel. I am both thrilled and deeply inspired by Shirley Meng’s work, yet saddened by the reality of a technological gap-almost like a 200-year divide-between our work here and what is happening in developed countries. While I’m uncertain about my own contributions to this field, I have faith that, with visionaries like her and the relentless efforts of dedicated individuals in battery research, truly miraculous achievements lie ahead.

I hope you can get her back to discuss battery research optimized for grid base storage. Keep up the wonderful work!

    I think one of the obstacles to a pure lithium anode is the constant re-plating which inevitably leads to dendrites,this problem must be solved and is a fundamental limitation to the system because plating will always selectively plate on the sharpest point and there by increase the length of the point hence the dendrite problem but there is a solution and that is to go with it rather than stop it and the way to do that is to have millions of sharp points on the anode so the inevitable dendrites will be so small they will hardly exist.

    Finally, the hype of “ten times increase in energy density” deflated with simple basic chemistry at the very beginning. Thank you.

      Yeah, it gets frustrating doesn't it!

    • @earnmyturns6305
      @earnmyturns6305 4 роки тому

      I did not understand the explanation. Of course what carries the charge is still the lithium. But if the accepting matrix were 10x more effective in silicon, then that portion of the battery can be made that much smaller... no?

    • @thelimitingfactor
      @thelimitingfactor  4 роки тому +2

      @@earnmyturns6305 Think of it this way. There are 6 parts to the internals of a battery (cathode, anode, electrolyte, Al foil, copper foil, shell). In order to get 10x energy density, all of those parts would each have to be 10x more energy dense.
      Making only one of them 10x only doubles or triples energy density. But, in reality, it doesn't actually double or triple because there are even more factors. I've done other videos that explain why Si loses energy density...like the moonshot video.
