That video sums it up!
Also hilarious.
There are some decisions made in football I do not understand, and we will leave it at that.
DRÄXLMAIER, they are on my radar for the lithium metal battery. One, if they master in the R&D department, will be the winner of any Li chemistry battery.
You can rely on DRÄXLMAIER. We offer comprehensive troubleshooting services for HV battery development and production. Our diagnostic capabilities include analysis, repair, and software updates. A team that can be deployed worldwide at short notice finds solutions quickly and efficiently so that production and development can continue.
Do you hear it? The beautiful music😁
They installed the 1st Li-Metal Battery in a car. It passed the stress test, but caught fire due to a short.

If you wondered what I am saying, our research is inline with the universities research on SSB’s.
“My team at Nankai University has developed a new 400 Wh/kg solid-state battery, which is 30 percent more energy-dense than the most advanced 300 Wh/kg lithium-ion battery on the market,”
1000Km SSB coming real soon. VW or Toyota, who wins that race?!?!

I.m back in amprius at 2.78 back in two days ago and then went to 2.60 yesterday🤞
With NowWhats post I am starting to follow better on, trends.
I will be classic investing until, I retire, then I will take my game to the next level.
Speaking of next level, Ampirus is looking really enticing.
No I have never done options. I thought about it for AMPRIUS. Although I do use RSI and bollinger bands.
“ION’s US - designed and manufactured SSB battery cells are the first to achieve this milestone with an anodeless design and no compression, representing a key accomplishment for broader adoption of SSBs, which have long been considered the safer, more powerful alternative to traditional Li-Ion batteries.”

True SSB’s are coming! Lithium miners, get your mining on.
Have you used this yet in your investment strategy?
The Trillion Dollar Equation
With Ampirus and Quantum so close. There are some exciting things being dreamed up in tech labs to accommodate.
But like I was saying with MULN.
Li demand is going to escalate fast here. 2026 peak and then dies down with over production again.
With all the SSB manufacturers coming into final R&D, the Lithium reserves don’t stand a chance.
“According to Mullen Automotive, its latest solid-state battery development and testing phase began in January when the EV automaker installed an energy-dense pack in one of its electric vans.
The initial tests measured the system compatibility between the pack of solid-state cells and the vehicle itself. Due to the higher energy density of the technology, Mullen shared it was able to increase the EV’s overall capacity from 42 kWh to 72 kWh using the same space in the platform.”

It’s been a long-held belief that energy-dense materials (e.g. NMC or LMFP) are essential for high performance EVs. Well, BYD have just shattered that belief.
BYD are releasing a LFP (yes LFP!) supercar, with a 135.5 kWh pack, offering a range of almost 500 miles, and the ability to charge from 30% to 80% in 10 minutes.
Manufacturers within the western supply chain often tout the necessity of LMFP for higher performance and lower cost, but as the graph below shows (thanks to Jeremy Lowen for this modelling), as lithium price falls, the cost advantage of LMFP is eaten away. Furthermore, its increased energy density comes at a cost of lower cycle life, due to manganese dissolution, reducing its advantage over the resilient LFP.
Exawatt has long believed the value of LFP at a system level has been underappreciated in the industry. Is it time for western OEMs to park more of their NMC or LMFP vehicles, with a shift to the tried and trusted LFP chemistry?

Li-Ion Conductors: A New Pathway to Sustainable Batteries
According to a study published in the journal Science, a solid that conducts lithium (Li) ions quickly has been found by researchers at the University of Liverpool. These Li-ion electrolytes are crucial parts of the rechargeable batteries that run a lot of modern devices, including electric vehicles.
The new material, which is composed of components that are naturally occurring and non-toxic, has a high enough Li-ion conductivity to replace the liquid electrolytes used in existing Li-ion battery technology, increasing energy capacity and safety.
The multidisciplinary research team from the university designed the material using a transformational scientific method. They synthesized the material in the lab, identified its structure (the arrangement of atoms in space), and showed it in a battery cell.

🔋🇺🇸🇨🇳 Battery costs are the Wealth of Nations.
For all the flaws and complexities we've pointed out in the US Inflation Reduction Act, one part is working as intended: the 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credit.
To produce battery cells in the US, you get up to $35/kWh against the cost of labour and processing, both of which are otherwise systemically more expensive in the US compared to China.
Note that the cost of materials is excluded - this is clever as it avoids effectively subsidising a mine or cathode plant outside the US, and only counts the value added in that step domestically.
This is having a profound effect on company operating profits - see Panasonic/LG/SK reports.
It also means that, even with pessimistic parameters in our cost model, it can enable cost-competitiveness with that of the average Chinese counterpart.
Reach out to Aaron Wade - who is at #NAATBatt today - if you want to understand how battery costs are influences and how the CRU Battery Cost Model can help you.

Today we are at #NAATBATT! An excellent and timely Bloomberg article on IRA tax credits was just published:
https://lnkd.in/eM-XuXAV
Here the CRU Battery Cost Model illustrates how the percentage of value of critical minerals in an NMC 811 battery changes over time versus the IRA's requirement for where the critical minerals are sourced.
Last year automakers were generally compliant as long as they sourced lithium from the US or Free-Trade-Agreement country. This is relatively easy considering the abundance of lithium from Chile and Australia.
But as the thresholds tighten, they need to look to compliant sourcing also for nickel, cobalt, or graphite - the processing of which which is dominated by China. If material passes through China, the entire tax credit falls apart.
We are in California the rest of the week. Reach out to us to talk about how our tools can help you to design your batteries and structure your supply chains to align with the US IRA!

“The battery cell now has greater energy density, uses fewer natural resources, charges faster, and costs less to manufacture. Cell formats can include cylindrical, pouch, or prismatic.”
“If only.”
I didn’t even consider, bitcoin/etfs when I was looking into it. It was a risk that didn’t sit well with me.
Even taking profits on stock I have been pushing to a safer bets, such as cd’s and stocks carrying dividend payouts.
No worries myte. Not talking my life savings by any means.
Americans used to wager on Canadian Resources - Now they're all in Cryptos

Compare those performances against that of the cryptos.........They (somewhat) equal polar opposites....

Leave it up to Elon to find the work around in order to get the Inflation Reduction Act/US DOE $2.8 Billion Energy Bill/American Battery Material Initiative(pick one). CATL, major R&D company with lots and lots of money, my guess is, that Elon needs to catch up to VW on the SSB they(VW) just tested. And to expedite and fall under US guidelines for the EV incentives this was the path. I would love to count how many lawyers are in that room picking that apart to not get burnt by the US DOE fire on the hoop.
Tesla's New NANO SILICON Battery From Panasonic Unvieled: Model Y Price Cuts Expected!
Sodium solid state, I love where this is going.
Chlorine-Based Sodium Solid Electrolyte
Publication number: 20230115956
Abstract: Sodium-based all solid-state batteries exhibit improved battery cycle life and stability with the use of a new chloride-based sodium solid electrolyte in which sodium diffusivity within the electrolyte is enhanced through substitution of atoms including one or more of Y with Zr, Ti, Hf, Ta, and Na with one or more of Ca and Sr.

“In the case of the sodium-oxygen cell, the proton phase catalyst transfers the newly formed sodium superoxide (NaO2) entities to solution where they nucleate into well-defined nanocrystals to grow the discharge product as micron-sized cubes.
The dimensions of the initially formed NaO2 are critical; theoretical calculations from a group at MIT has separately shown that NaO2 is energetically preferred over sodium peroxide, Na2O2 at the nanoscale.”
Definitely, investing.

Oh man, hope I didn’t crush his dreams.
Market will turn in his favor, as for the tech, I can’t remember what year I said from the last coin cell test. But no matter what hold on NowWhat2.
Lithium Metal Battery, I will be heavily watching for as well, LG, Sony and Panasonic. Don’t take your eyes off of them.
NowWhat2 had his life savings in GMGMF. You came to his board and laid a big turd on it awhile back 🏴
It doubled in price the last month nice..

She is right in so many ways. I like her view on, not just 1 battery in the portfolio, but many battery chemistry makeups in the portfolio. To meet demands at particular needs, in cost and functionality.
I agree with her in regards of the US DOE putting up a competition on a Battery Innovation Prize. It would be awesome to see what would come out of the wood work with the chemistry’s that have been approached in making, “energy storage systems.”
I am going to throw some more money at GMGMF, I think she is on to something there with manufacturing cost. GMGMF has so far got a great lead in the market on the concept.

Told ya.
Cover the ones they know are dead wells or no brine bearing wells.
That way they look like the good guys while sneaking a DLE onto the wells that are good.
Opinion, waste of time and resources. Taking those funds and pushing them into SSB development is the answer.
But some of those companies are so heavily invested at this point, they keep going, to recoup some of their cost.

the life cycle of a well
Chevron plans for the full life cycle of our wells, retiring them with the same emphasis on safety and the environment as when they were operational.
It’s up to Eliason and her team—as well as several other teams within Chevron—to properly restore the land surrounding decommissioned wells. By the time they’re through removing equipment and restoring the landscape, the land is prepared for its next chapter.
And John is sitting around upper 90’s percentage wise, in returned brine, no inorganic material.
He can master that with oil producers, he has cornered a market opportunity then.
