Ready for industrial and public use kn, say, ... another 20 years?
Ontario, with it’s nickel mines, is pleased.
How plentiful is nickel vs lithium?
it was only a matter of the right particles to make such a charge as a battery that can cycle and recycle long after the cycling of the cycle has reached the end of a cycle that may be a literal recycling of that cycle. impressive. a recycled term indeed.
It’s early, but is this good? “Ni cathode retains 80% capacity after 300 cycles”
I think not.
How much do current (lithium ion I presume) EV batteries lose after 300 cycles?
FWIW, Google AI puts the number at between 5 and 10%, after 300 cycles. That could be complete BS.
Lithium is a stood gap and dead end over the long term. Aluminum is the future. Aluminum makes up more than 8% of the whole planet’s crust, it’s the third most abundant element after silicon and oxygen. It’s the most recycled material by volume and mass. 75% of all aluminum ever mined is still in use or available for use.
This is a new solid state tech that also cannot burn and at 1% loss over 10000 cycles will be the go too tech for not only consumer level devices like that pocket sized supercomputer being used to post all this stuff. It will also be the go to tech for drones and medical devices too. EVs are only 6% of the global power cell market the modern world cannot exist without the density of modern power cells.period.full.stop.
This is a multiple trillion dollar market whenever comes up with the next gen high density power cells is going to be rich beyond any imaginable level. The first trillionaire has already been born.

The DOD is already getting aluminium graphene cells that charge at 66C rates and can take 10000+ full depth of discharge cycles. Specifically for airborne drones and other drone use, think underwater and crawling on land ton. Aluminum is a triple valence electron metal it has triple the power density of a single electron metal like Li or Na, aluminum theoretical energy density is one of the few that can exceed liquid hydrocarbons on a mass for mass basis. Aluminum air fuel cells can double the energy density of gasoline on a kg for kg basis yeah like that dense.
There’s not enough nickel in the earth’s crust to support this!
I’m old enough to remember sneering at hybrid cars.
I knew then the technology would get better over time. Just like I’ve always known that EV technology would get better.
In gasoline car terms: the gas tank shrinks from 20 gallons to 16 gallons after 300 days of driving.
but NO ONE WANTS EVs
Solid-state EV battery are crap
“scientists are RACING to develop batteries that last longer, charge faster, and store more energy.”
ROTLOL!
gotta be the slowest race in history ...
I’ve long since lost count. How many battery breakthroughs now? Can we still even call them batteries?
If I had a nickel for every time there was a nickel breakthrough in EV batteries, I would have a nickel.
