Energy Density and Capacity
One of the most significant factors distinguishing lithium-ion batteries from sodium-ion batteries is energy density. Lithium-ion batteries have a higher energy density, which means they can store more energy per unit of weight.

The (one month) chart in the link below depicts the rise in CRTG pps from .0185 to .059 over the past month. It seems like like anticipation of news via a PR, 8K, or a date for the next shareholders meeting is driving the price for the time being.

Not sure why the delay in rescheduling the shareholder meeting, but I still believe a significant update is pending

It may be helpful to look into the author of the story to get a better sense of motive.
Looking at her clicking on bio near her name/picture:: "fuses her love for writing journalis, to deliver impactful narratives through the lense of global media.."she consistently captivates her audience with poignant stories." "AM is not just a correspondent; she is a force of change"
She the story was based on current reality (the journalist). It was captivating (her skill as a writer). She draws on her intellect to infer this is not just a change but a change that makes a difference (her right as a writer, l guess you could say). Shout out to some favs: walrus -appreciation for DD
From StockFan2023 on Stocktwits in regards to the writer of the recent CRTG article on

@16driver The writer has a valid LinkedIn profile! And, countless articles to her name.
It's only a matter of time before she writes another piece titled "I tried to tell you about CRTG!!!!"
Walrus,
I totally agree with you. The article did sound a bit like a pump, but everything the author addressed is factual from what we have read and heard in PRs and podcasts.
"I've never heard of, The Peoples Network media company, but what they said in that article was all factual information"
CRTG Eyes Major Corporate Shift, Teases Revolutionary Battery Tech & Potential Ford Partnership
“ CRTG is on the brink of unveiling a game-changing partnership or merger, alongside its revolutionary silicon anode battery technology. Learn how these developments could redefine the industry.”

Pegs1,
Erik Bakkers, the Dutch Physicist from Eindhoven University in the Netherlands, is working on developing silicon photonic chips and wants to use CHS in order to achieve this. Photonic chips will transmit data via light instead of metal and Bakkers mentioned the data throughput could increase by 100 times with photonic chips.
”For the growth of light-emitting silicon, it is important to work at an as low as possible temperature. CHS could be a game-changer,” said Dr. Bakkers.

EV battery makers' demand for silicon anodes to grow fast - KED Global kedglobal.com @ • 2 min read

Walrus,
Excellent point!
My sentiments exactly, thanks for sharing
I think a PR, addressing the corporate development, will be released prior to the shareholder meeting, so CRTG can discuss the details and associated information
The last two Shareholder Calls were announced 12 days and 7 days in advance respectively. So, hopefully we get word next week and the meeting takes place in March.
"The Coretec Group To Host a Shareholder Call on December 14 to Highlight 2022 Milestones and Outline 2023 Goals
December 2, 2022"
"The Coretec Group to Host a Shareholder Call on May 18 to Provide an Update on its Endurion Battery Development Program for Electric Vehicles
May 11, 2023"
Pegs1
I think CRTG will release the date for the next shareholders conference by the end of February. I remain optimistic that details will be given regarding the corporate developments during the meeting along with the commercialization plans.
Pegs1
I believe CRTG is simply fine tuning the amount of silicon they get into the anode and achieve the highest power density along with maximum cycle life of the battery. Once that is completed the active anode material will be scaled for commercialization.
The metrics they are talking about are not at all comparable to what CRTG is doing with Endurion. The are only seeing about a 14% increase in performance and they are still using 90% graphite.
“Preliminary testing demonstrates a capability to improve performance by more than 14% without noticeable first-cycle degradation”
“These benchmarks were then compared to the second batch, which consisted of a blend of 90% graphite and 10% of Novacium's first-generation engineered SiOx anode material.“
Sounds like it's not a matter of if, but when:
"Will your next EV feature a silicon-rich battery pack that can fully charge in less than 10 minutes and have 1,000 miles of range? Probably not. “We don’t know yet when it would be commercialized,” said Elgammal, though when Endurion technology does hit the market at scale, he noted it should have cost parity with graphite anodes while providing numerous other benefits."
I believe it’s an updated version of last year’s statement, but I’d have to compare it to the original from last year to be certain
“As for manufacturing and selling finished batteries, that’s not something The Coretec Group is focusing on. “We do have plans for later this year to start providing materials to third parties for evaluation,” said Elgammal, but “the overall business model right now is either to look at licensing opportunities for the technology or think about forming partnerships.”
Excellent post, I wholeheartedly agree
Ford says it has a ‘Skunk Works’ team trying to make lower-cost EVs

I believe the process is ongoing and taking a bit longer to finalize.
“Coretec failed to signify that the process surrounding "significant corporate events" is continuing, the logical conclusion is then that they are not.”
I think CRTG will keep the “manufacturing process” for the Endurion active anode material “close hold” .
Pegs1,
CRTG answered your questions in the email update:
"The Coretec Group is in the process of moving to a larger lab and office space within MIHQ (our current landlord), which is needed to increase production of the Endurion material. In addition to the spacious countertops and cabinets, this new location will allow space for needed, additional equipment, such as a chemical hood and glovebox, thus improving throughput. Further, the layout is such that lab personnel can interact regularly with non-lab personnel, creating stronger team dynamics"
I understand your frustration with the delays, but everything will come to fruition.

I noticed Farley's quote specifically mentioned betting on "new chemistries and capacities" which seems to match the narrative in the latest CRTG email update regarding battery testing.
"One of the things we're taking advantage of in taking some timing delays is rationalizing the level and timing of our battery capacity to match demand and actually reassessing the vertical integration that we're relying on, and betting on new chemistries and capacities," Farley said during the automaker's fourth-quarter earnings call.
And the latest email update from CRTG mentioned "optimizing the chemistry" of the silicon-based active anode material improving "initial capacity"
"The Coretec Group continues to optimize the chemistry of our silicon-based active anode material, and we are seeing that optimization have an effect in the improvement of standard battery tests including initial capacity, and cycle life.”
As I look at the quote from Farley with Ford Motor, I can’t help but think they are referring to CRTG:

I think CRTG needs the additional equipment to meet demand for additional Endurion material for testing.
“this new location will allow space for needed, additional equipment, such as a chemical hood and glovebox, thus improving throughput.”
The move to the larger lab and to increase production of the Endurion material and accommodate additional equipment to increase throughput are all positive signs that the project is moving along. Hopefully we get substantial updates on the corporate developments soon in the upcoming shareholders meeting.
