Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory are trying to build the perfect battery.
Lithium-ion batteries are the gold standard, but there is much progress to be made. For example, one improvement would be to create solid-state batteries in order to eliminate the need for the flammable electrolyte that is inside lithium-ion batteries.
Solid-state batteries also could have three times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, which might allow things like electric flight.

Just pinning responses and clarifications to technical questions here because the comment got a bit buried. It's in the thread with @SwuuschifyMe below and we encourage you to read the full and thought-provoking discussion if you're interested! For what it's worth, we shared this video with the folks at Argonne before releasing it to check for accuracy, and they had no edits or corrections. 3:15 Lithium scarcity is more complex than just how common the element is within the earth’s crust - it’s also a question of how easy, affordable, and sustainable it is to obtain that element. Beyond the pure practicalities of getting our hands on more lithium atoms, there are also the regulatory and geopolitical implications, as well as the complexities of refining lithium. All of these factors contribute to lithium's scarcity relative to the demand for it. We’re not the only ones who feel this way, and many people predict we could see shortages in the next few years: www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/07/electric-vehicles-world-enough-lithium-resources To be clear, we don’t think lithium will go away as a key component of some batteries, but many researchers (some in this video!) are very keen to explore alternatives that are more affordable and sustainable to obtain and would offer additional benefits. In the future we think there will likely be a lot of different battery chemistries, including many that rely on lithium. 3:25 There is a difference between an electrolyte and the ions dissolved within it, but we felt that it might be splitting hairs to disambiguate between them in this video - especially since many electrolytes (like lithium hexafluorophosphate) do contain lithium. This is the same approach many folks seem to take when describing lithium’s role within a battery, including experts we consulted with, for the sake of simplicity. In retrospect we can see how the wording could be better! 3:55 On the various weights of zinc and magnesium relative to lithium: we’re referring to the energy density in terms of volume. We also understand that some of these chemistries would be heavier and therefore less suitable for certain applications, that’s also something that Dr. Venkat Srinivasan addresses in the video when he talks about the different constraints that various batteries will need to work within for different applications. The size, safety, and charging requirements will be very different for a grid battery, as compared to something like a battery for a mobile device or vehicle. 4:30 There are other synchrotron facilities, we don’t mean to imply that there aren’t. Argonne is a unique place that brings together a lot of specialists in the field of next generation battery technology, and provides them with on-site access to a powerful resource like the Advanced Photon Source on site, which we feel makes it one of a kind. 5:50 Also - we weren’t actually worried that the lithium would explode because of a humid environment. But lithium does have a reputation for reacting to water in pretty stunning ways (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKnUlpKQhNymftU) and our voiceover often takes a playful approach to these sorts of things!

[@SwuuschifyMe]

I am a battery researcher just like our guests here, in fact I sometimes come to Argonne for similar experiments... there's problems here 3:15 Lithium scarcity is BS. It's one of the most common elements in the crust and if you had looked, you would have found that it is not a problem. What's the material scarcity of today's batteries? Well it's Cobalt, mostly. 3:25 Lithium is not the electrolyte...the electrolyte facilitates the transport of Lithium ions. A pretty fundamental thing to mix up 3:55 2-3 times of what? There is a place for Zinc and Mg batteries but they also have fundamental downsides, for example Zn batteries are heavy af (10 times heavier than Lithium) and therefore mostly useful if space is an issue, for example it would be a good grid storage option if aqeuous (water based) Zn batteries would work out. 4:30 Argonne is definitely not the only place where they do this. It's called a synchrotron facility, and there's five big ones in the US alone where they all do this. And there's dozens all over the world. 5:50 Lithium doesn't explode. It doesn't even catch fire if you throw it in water. It's the least reactive Alkali metal. They have a dry room because oxidized Lithium is useless in a battery, and Lithium reacts much faster with water than with just oxygen. Appreciate the skillful narration but there's a lot of fundamentally wrong statements in here, too. Did the scientists that appear here get to see this video before release?

Even the comment about oil being replaced by lithium... you don't burn lithium and you only have so much per car... ever... then you recycle it.. A few hundred lbs for a million miles is a lot better than 100lbs of fuel for 350 miles..... not a fair comparison. We are comparing hundreds of thousands of kms to a few thousand in terms of weight of material used.

The slow progress towards “the perfect battery” is the ultimate proof that we have not been visited by aliens; and in particular, that said aliens have not “given us their advanced technology.” Because if they did we would long ago have had fantastic batteries.

I have patented a closed-loop system using electrolysis and either fuel cells or an engine I have patented called the Ringine to store energy in high-pressure hydrogen and oxygen gases, and then recover the energy by passing it back through either the fuel cell(s) or the Ringine (the Ringine appears to actually be MORE efficient than the fuel cells). We are preparing to detail engineer the Hydrox version of the Ringine to demonstrate the technology. This is a TOTALLY closed-loop system that can be very small or VERY LARGE and store enormous amounts of energy in extreme density due to the application of electrolysis to 'split' millipore-pure water. We can store about 2Mw-hours in about 150 gallons of water. We are talking about industrial-level power storage to allow power from green sources to be stored in huge amounts so that our world can be power at night by solar energy. We have also developed a system that utilizes solar thermal energy to desalinate or purify seawater or brown water and purify it AND produce electricity as a BY-PRODUCT by utilizing the Ringine. We are currently preparing to build a tech demo of that system because we feel water is ever-more critical and since we can produce BOTH power and purify brown or seawater simultaneously, we should pursue that avenue first, then this: We have also developed a solar-thermal power production system using a closed-loop highly distributable steady-state cycle that produces electricity at 35% to 45% overall system efficiency; we truly believe this, all put together, is the 'way forward'. And this is just the tip of an iceberg I'd love to tell you about. @Freethink, you need to be aware of this. I would be glad to present it to you. Let me know if you are interested. This is vetted by several professional engineering firms and MS&T, and their ME Department and it's Head has lead in Federal funding submittals we are still waiting on, and they will vouch for this.

I worked in a battery factory around 20 years ago, it was a joint venture with British, USA military and Mitsubishi - The batteries that was made was for space and military agencies as well as private health care - The batteries they made could last almost 2 years nonstop unlike a Duracell battery that at full energy output would only last 2 days. So why are they not selling these batteries to the public because it makes no money,

[@propergander8509]

7:25 “So… picture a scenario, where we had ubiquitous energy storage. Between Solar, Wind *a n d* nuclear, we could generate all the electricity we’d ever need without burning fossil fuels” As someone who lives in Germany, where even imagining a grid where nuclear energy plays a role is unthinkable (We’re at the point where you’re smeared as right-wing if you advocate for nuclear energy) and where the renewables-only strategy is becoming the only strategy that’s allowed to be thought to the point of *degrowth* becoming a widely accepted future, it feels so refreshing to hear, that other countries aren’t laboring under the same delusions and are looking for a way to seriously decouple economic progress from emissions!

[@antares946]

especially now where they have to import gas from russia, couldve just built a few nuclear reactors, but theres still some lingering fear from the chernobyl disaster in 1986, although technology has increased exponentially since then and there should have been better failsafes developed. But i guess it is what it is, germany is a very densely populated country so idk where they'd put the nuclear reactor without causing massive uproar, plus it might somehow poison water supplies or something idk

[@propergander8509]

@@antares946 Radiation leaks into water are unheard of, as cooling loops that lead back into rivers are thrice removed from the core itself through heat exchangers. And even if, for instance in permanent storage, the nuclear waste casks were to leak, even in the most pessimistic studies, the increase in annual radiation dose is a mere 10 microsievert. Just for context: People’s annual radiation exposure sits between 1000 and 9000 microsievert with a median of around 2000 microsievert. A return flight between Frankfurt and New York adds 100 microsievert.

Meanwhile, our current "leadership" seems to think this technology is already available and can be implemented overnight with the swipe of a pen.

In Australia 20million vehicles and 20million buildings. All buildings are connected to the national grid. EV batteries are 100kwh for the long drive. Daily drives are 7kwh. EVs are parked 23/7/365. EV selfparking means that they can 'nuzzle' onto a low mounted wall power point when parking. EVs can be part of the existing national grid. 20million × 100kwh = 2,000gWh This is 3.3 times more than the maximum fossil fueled generated electricity daily. If you are lucky. This is 5 times more than avg daily fossil fueled generation. Today. In a no fossil fueled world, 5 times more electricity is needed and 5 times bigger national grid. Poles and wires to the streets and homes and businesses and industries and buildings and all the ends of the existing national grid. If the existing national grid is UNLOADED by the 40% of home supply, and the the home feed in was 40%, then generators will only need to supply 20% of today's electric demands. 20million buildings with rooftop solar pv 33kwh, = 660gWh daily = today's fossil fueled maximum and more, daily. Less sun then a few more panels. Most roofs are 100m2 and more.

Yeah are you taking the costs of removing the expelled C02 and other emissions of fossil fuels into account or are you just gonna swallow Aramcos bullshit without second thought.

“Waste disposal costs”. What are the potential economic costs of global warming due to burning fossil fuels? Just this month, Alaska completely canceled the snow crab harvest, a $200M industry. Why? Because global warming has altered the habitat of snow crabs, leading to a 90% reduction in the crab population over just a couple of years. Barring a big surprise, odds are good you won’t ever eat snow crab again.

Water is an idea fuel. After splitting the molecule, it’s combustion reaction produces energy it recombines back to water. With the discovery of negative index meta materials, plasmonics, lasers, and other nanotechnologies. There is a way to split these water molecules for hydrogen fuel or even a plasma field for energy.
