…possible sorbents and membranes (pages 15-16). How will AI reshape lithium-ion batteries, nuclear fusion, green hydrogen value chains or nature-based solutions. We found it harder to de-risk breakthroughs using AI…
…40.7 kJ/mol (or 6.8 x 10^-20 per water molecule). This same principle is also used in manufacturing lithium ion batteries, where solvents (such as NMP) must be evaporated below their…
…battery prices. Most build-ups suggest lithium ion batteries should cost $110-130/kWh. Yet the pricing on Chinese LFP batteries has been reported at $50-80/kWh. This has become a huge controversy that…
…the future of the energy transition, there may be challenges to displacing jet fuel, which has an energy density of 12,000 Wh/kg. A large plane powered by a lithium ion…
…battery and other auxiliaries (chart below, numbers in the data-file). Conversely, we estimate that the core drive train of an EV costs c$16k, after tabulating the lithium ion battery, battery…
This data-file reviews Verdox DAC technology, optimizing polyanthraquinones and polynaphthoquinones, then depositing them on porous carbon nanotube scaffolds, using similar methods to lithium ion batteries. These quinones are shown to…
…our typical estimate for a grid-scale lithium ion battery to have c85% efficiency. The utilization of the battery equates to 0.7 charge-discharge cycles per day, as shown in the chart…
…and ultimately IRR sensitivities for the costs of transformers (page 11). https://thundersaidenergy.com/downloads/transformers-companies-and-costs If we follow other materials that matter in the energy transition — e.g., lithium, solar modules — then…
…different battery chemistries — lead-acid, sodium-sulphide — rather than today’s projects that are predominantly LFP lithium ion. The duration of these grid-scale batteries has also increased from 2.6 hours prior…
