8 statements about Lithium Ion Battery, every show
Tang: No country can beat China's cost on exported lithium-ion batteries
“For, if you beat choose lithium ion battery, once there's export from China, no one can beat the Whole cost.”
Chiang: Four electron volts equals 4,000 to 6,500 Kelvin in thermal energy
“And it turns out that four electron volts is an absolutely enormous amount of energy. If we were to compare it to, for example the heat of vaporization of water, it's about 10 times that, right? If we were to compare it to just Temperature terms. Thermal energ…”
O'Donnell: Rondo Brick Storage Holds More Energy Per Kilogram Than Lithium-Ion
“We store a little bit more energy per kilogram than a typical lithium-ion battery pack in brick”
Azhar: Exponential compounding cost drops extend far beyond silicon chips
“We saw those patterns in, in other areas. You saw it in, in terms of the amount of bandwidth that you could put over an optical fiber, you saw it in terms of storage densities, and we saw it in areas like genome sequencing and in areas like lithium-ion battery…”
Lott: Typical EV battery packs contain three to four miles of material
“And that means that the typical electric car on the road can have between three and four miles of really thin material.”
O'Donnell: 1,000°C bricks match lithium-ion energy density at one-tenth the cost
“And when you heat a brick to a thousand C, it stores as much energy per pound as a lithium ion battery. Costs 10 times less, lasts 10 times longer.”
Berdichevsky: Graphite in lithium-ion batteries has hit its thermodynamic limits
“There is, and it's a thermodynamic limitation. So it is the laws of the universe, it is what God gave us, and there is no getting around it. And we are at that limit in every lithium-ion battery today.”
