Needs that this could potentially address
Li-ion batteries that require less critical minerals
Tech specs
306 mAh g–1cathode, delivers an energy density of 765 Wh kg–1cathode, higher than most cobalt-based cathodes, and can charge–discharge in as little as 6 min.
Estimated time & cost to commercialize
Stealth mode startup under way
Outstanding risks
- Lamborghini has reportedly licensed the patent on the technology.
