The oils can either be stabilised as a electrolytes or ethanol. The amount of open space we have could produce "if was in motion" 2000 square kilometres cup produce 18-28 tonnes in fibre and plant material for homes and the extracts per year over 2 million plus oil per quarter.

That seems reasonable, given the dipole polarization explanation. I wonder if Goodenough and Braga even anticipated, designed or fully understood this supercapacitor effect, if that is indeed what is happening. I have seen a couple of videos about Goodenough and this battery, but had not seen this increase in specific capacity with cycle number mentioned. So, I'm guessing this was serendipitous, and it would seem that the capacitance of the battery increases over time, as an explanation for the specific capacity of the battery increasing with cycle number. Perhaps more strangely, the effect has not yet leveled off after 300 cycles, as shown. This increasing energy density would certainly beg for extensive safety testing, unless ultimately creating a bomb is the goal.

Next step: Solid State batteries with a specific energy of 2000 Wh/kg that can be charged with a power of 1 MW. Just imagine getting 3000 miles out of 15 minutes of charging. The demand for energy would skyrocket though. People should seriously start investing more into fusion reactors.

[@JustHaveaThink]

Hi Katzelle. That sounds intriguing. Are you involved in developing these types of battery? Are you not confident that large scale renewable technologies would provide the energy required?

[@Katzelle3]

@@JustHaveaThink Nah, your video had a graph that showed a specific capacity of 600 mAh/g after 300 charge cycles or so. Multiply that with 5 Volts and you get 3Wh/g. That's 3000 Wh/kg! With 2 kWh/kg alone, you could have 100 kWh in a battery that weighs less than a full fuel tank (around 60-70 kg). A 500 kg battery could hold 1 MWh of power. If that battery also charges faster than Li-Ion batteries, then you could theoretically plug that into a Tesla Megacharger, which apparently provides 1.6 MW of charging power... I made a mistake. You can recharge a new Tesla Roadster with a Tesla Megacharger in about 20 minutes, or a P100D in about 10. Now about power consumption. I could imagine that users of electric cars would generally exhibit a similar time patterns when it comes to charging their cars. I was thinking about a potential worst case scenario in which you'd have all car owners, plug their car into a 1MW charger at the same time. Just multiply 1 MW with the population of car owners in a town (10000 people of 30000). That's 10000 MW, or more than the biggest nuclear power plant could output (8000 MW). Think of that. A one hour peak time that requires an additional nucler power plant for every town. Looking at it in hindsight, this kinda sounds stupid, so here's a likely more realistic estimation. One would very likely charge their car over night during the weekend, let's say from 10 pm to 6 am. During the week, they probably drove 80 miles or so. If an electric car can go 3 miles per kWh, then that's about 26.7 kWh in 8 hours. That should require about 3.4 kW of power. In a town with 10000 electric car owners, the total power needed to charge those cars at that time would be 34 MW. Still a lot, but nothing crazy anymore.

Apparently a Tesla battery weighs about 500 kg which would give it a specific energy of 200 Watthours per kilogram. The biggest nuclear power plant in the world is the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, which can output about 7965 Megawatts. 1 Gigawatt (GW) = 1000 Megawatts (MW) = 1000000 kilowatts (kW)

I like the concept of Molten Salt Heat Batteries next to current Power Stations, and district substation power networks with whatever the present optimal storage battery is available. Mostly: I don't know.

Video with profesor Goodenough was deleted by youtube :((

[@FrancisKoczur]

Pathion has an exclusive license to the original Los Alamos National Labs patent to the base solid lithium electrolyte. They paid Goodenough and Braga as work for hire for the advanced doping. Also the Na3OCl (NaRAP) anti-perovskite was skipped during patenting, and only subsequent dopings were patented, the Braga-Goodenough battery being one version.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I understand perfectly goodenough's and dr. Bragga's battery and it is revolutionary and does not depend on gunboat diplomacy to get the resources to make it. Dr. Bragga's glass is the next best thing to buttered bread. You could actually put their battery in a Ford F250 and have the range of 400 to 500 miles without making the truck one lb heavier. Sweeeet! WE Need this. Now coupled with the Molten Salt Thorium Reactor the whole energy mix worldwide would be changed for the better and countries could follow their needs rather than suffering Exxon magnates taking your money.

[@nathanokun8801]

The only thing I could guess about that discussion on how the new solid-state battery could increase its chargeability with increased use is that the material that holds the particles in the middle of the battery is non-optimum, with the particles spread out at random, but using the battery again and again causes them to migrate toward the places where the charges are flowing (possibly near the surface of the substrate), decreasing resistance and increasing capacitance and its ability to hold a charge and/or conduct the current with less impedance to the flow. I may be wrong about this, but that is as close as I could make out of that gobbledigook...

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

I just think it's so awesome that that guy's name is Johnny B Good(enough). Anyway, the SS batt will be THE game changer for the electric car, no doubt. The number of charge/discharge cycles, the increased capacity (for a given volume), the simpler (and more abundant) ingredients, the recharge SPEED (hundreds if not thousands of times faster than Li-Ion), the safety factor... ALL of these things will truly put the electric car on equal - no, superior - footing with ICE vehicles. Glad to hear there are so many countries and organizations working on it. Competition is good and will make it happen sooner and cheaper.

[@h2opower]

I think "Ionic" will come out the leader in all of this as I saw that battery get cut into bits all the while it kept working powering a bank of LED lights.

hey just looking for any update on John goodenough new battery

[@MrStanbeattie]

Wonderful! Except for dim bulb drumming.

[@analyst1777]

Well done! Very informative!!!

[@damatrino001]

What is being said basically I believe is that as the Glass-plastics is charged more often that it becomes less resistant to an electric charge thus as time goes on it develops the ability to hold a greater charge, how this might occur might be akin to how metals re-align their molecules with temping. How true this is yet to be proven for there is yet to be a 65 year old battery of this design let a lone a 10 year one. The increase in capacitance may only be a short term effect, time will only tell; a decrease could start to occur after a few years of charging.

[@immortalsofar5314]

What is the name of the researcher who received the royalties rather than Goodenough? Note, this is a factual question without opinion and, when they decided to cut him out of the royalties, they accepted public knowledge of their actions as a price worth paying for the financial rewards. Making them pay that price is the least we can do.

You want 100% energy independence ? Zero-carbon footprint system will work like this in the future: PV-cell on the roof > electrolyse water generating H2 > store H2 in safe form (powder, inventer: Gerard Lugtigheid) > use needed H2 powder for warm water & eletricity (along the whole wintertime!).

If solid state battery become reality, then we can put batteries not just under the floor like Tesla does, but also in other parts of the car bodies, for example, embedded inside the lining of the roof, doors, bumpers etc. This will theoretically increase the range.

[@JustHaveaThink]

Hi Fadly. Nice observation. Lateral thinking like that leads to smart design solutions. Thanks for your feedback. All the best. Dave.

[@steevesdd]

The huge battery investment will give great returns. New battery tech will allow commercial electric flight much more capable naval options in the form of under water drones, drones for stratosphere, and electric grid storage options to harness renewables.

[@JustHaveaThink]

Hi Drew. Thanks for your feedback and great points. I think there is a bright future for this tech if they can get it fully developed. All the best. Dave

[@VGAstudent]

If the battery technology gets to be cheap enough, would you recommend having battery "padding" instead of insulation on your building to provide a buffer for the global power grid? If you're going to have something that radiates heat, why not make it warm ambient hot water pipes, or simply keep cold water pipes from freezing during the winter?

[@JustHaveaThink]

HI Vance. Sounds like an interesting notion. I guess access for change outs would be the challenge, but I very much like the lateral thinking approach :-)

[@jusb1066]

anything very large wont put out any significant heat anyway, plus that amount of heat will be a detriment to most battery techs, thus they will want it much cooler

[@zomalfa4363]

What kind of batteries does Mr. Goodenough run on?

[@Bryan46162]

I wish journalists wouldn't fall into the trap where they compare and contrast technology found in the lab with commercially available versions of 'that other technology'. Yes, I'm sure that solid state in the lab has almost twice the capacity of what you can buy off the shelf, however, 'in the lab' that thing you buy off the shelf ALSO has crazy capacity. The trick is how much is left after all the safety/engineering/manufacturing considerations have been designed into the commercial version of that product.

[@USUG0]

I have a feeling that Goodenough contribution, to the latest developments in solid state batteries, has been mainly having a lovely chat during a break for a cup of tea. Maybe, the title should have been: has Maria Helena Braga (and her collaborators) nailed it?

[@mikeobrien3744]

Solid state batteries are not a phenomenon, we are simply still discovering physical realities of the planet, and how certain compounds will act/interact. I am 100% in on the design, and certain the claims are reality! Less fossil fuel use will be great, even though global warming is NOT a made made problem.

[@ImaginerImagines]

We need to see all the specs. Dyson is already done. The problem with some of these is they don't have deep cycles. It may happen with enough investment though. Color me optimistic but reserved for the short term.

[@steve25782]

How does this relate to the dry batteries developed by Maxwell Technologies, which was just purchased by Tesla?

[@michelangelobuonarroti916]

Those are not solid state batteries at this time. The "dry" just refers to the manufacturing process.

[@steve25782]

@@michelangelobuonarroti916 Thanks. That confirms what I'd figured from videos on the Web. Too bad, though, because otherwise Tesla would have batteries that never degrade despite many charge/discharge cycles.

[@LaurenceAllen]

the new tech is more like 30% more energy dense for 20% more space but at the same time having a 20% savings in producing these cells; this will lead to a 50% increase in battery production at the same cost and at the same time reduce the cost per cell cost.

[@zom-b-bunny2565]

for what i know that the battery are having trouble cause the material has to be a certain size like extremely thin and layered. the most safe battery out there is the salt water battery as far as i know. and as far as who is ahead i hear goodenough is pretty close for it getting it to a scale where it can get mass produced at some point

[@richtmason3792]

could the dendrite problem in liquid state batteries be a similar type of-problem that causes-disease in the brain like dementia?

[@JustHaveaThink]

Hi Rich. I'm no brain surgeon but my understanding is that dementia may be partly due to a build of proteins that the brain uses to physically make the billions of synaptic links during the course of each day. That protein is expunged from the brain each night as we sleep (scientists have watched it happening), so if you miss out on sleep on a regular basis you may be more prone. I guess in that sense the concept of unwanted growth is similar. All the best. Dave
