SUPER BATTERY
A Breakthrough High Capacity Silicon Anode Technology
The Problem
Silicon (Si) is one of the most promising anode materials being considered for next generation, high energy and high power lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Graphite is currently the most widely used anode material, but Si has attracted great attention because of its natural abundance, non-toxicity, and very high theoretical specific capacity of nearly 4200 mAh/g – about 10 times more capacity than conventional graphite anodes.
However, Si anodes suffer from large capacity fading and tremendous volume changes during lithium-ion charge-discharge cycling. The strains due to the huge volume changes actually pulverizes the Si material and eventually lead to electrode shattering and delamination, which adversely affect the battery performance and cycle life. These are the primary challenges to the commercial use of Si for battery anodes, which BioSolar intends to overcome.
Existing Si-based Anode Approaches To overcome the issues with Si, popular attempts over the recent years included fabrication of Si into nanoparticles, porous structures, composites with carbon or composites with intermetallic flexible matrix, and many others.
Nanoscale Si particles have been shown to reduce volume expansions and prevent particle cracking, which improves battery life. In addition, they allow for faster charging of the battery. Nevertheless, Si nanoparticles are expensive and not industry scalable yet.
Silicon Oxide (SiOx) based systems used for dilution of Si expansion stresses offer high capacity and long cycle life, but require high temperature synthesis process. They also suffer from low conductivity which requires carbon coating and surface treatments.
Si and carbon composite systems can mechanically protect the Si particles by a surrounding carbon matrix which maintains the electrical integrities. They can also be synthesized using low cost milling process and can be incorporated with existing graphite electrode systems. However, this approach has low matrix strength to prevent Si expansions, which results in short battery life.
All of the approaches to date have their own fundamental obstacles that need to be overcome before taking advantage of Si's full theoretical capacity.
BioSolar's Breakthrough Approach – Anode based on Si-Alloy
We are focused on developing a unique and highly effective material and processing solutions to take maximum advantage of Si's full capacity.
BioSolar intends to commercialize a Si based anode material technology to significantly increase the energy density and cycle life of the current lithium-ion batteries. BioSolar's target is to design Si-Alloy materials with a capacity objective of 1500 mAh/g, which translates into to an anode with a capacity density of 1000 mAh/cm3 and a cell level volumetric energy density of 1000 Wh/L. As a point of reference, the lithium-ion batteries in a current Tesla Model S electric vehicle have an energy density of 676 Wh/L.
Our goal is to demonstrate a working high capacity anode for use by battery manufacturers to create the ultimate high capacity, high power, and fast charging and discharging lithium-ion battery.
BioSolar is currently funding a sponsored research program to develop its anode technology. The lead inventor of the technology is North Carolina A&T State University assistant professor Dr. Sungjin Cho, a lithium-ion battery expert with extended career in the battery industry prior to joining the University.
A Novel Polymer Cathode Technology Why can't we use our iPhones for several days without charging, or drive our electric vehicles from Los Angeles to San Francisco without being stranded along the way due to a low battery? Wouldn't it be nice if you can fully recharge your electric car for a return trip back to Los Angeles while you are having lunch at San Francisco? When will we be able to purchase electric vehicles that cost about the same as conventional vehicles? The answer comes down to higher battery capacity, faster charging ability, and lower cost.
The Problem A battery contains two major parts, a cathode and an anode, that function together as the positive and negative sides. The overall capacity of the battery is determined by the combination of the storage capacity of its cathode as well as that of its anode. Today's state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery is limited by the storage capacity of its cathode, while the existing anode can store much more. Additionally, the materials used in batteries are still quite expensive.
The Solution - A Cathode based on Conductive Polymer Based on our patent-pending supercapacitor technology that uses a novel conductive polymer material, we are developing a high capacity cathode engineered from a conductive polymer. Instead of conventional cathodes that use lithium-ion intercalation chemistry, we exploit the fast redox-reaction properties of polymers to enable rapid charge and discharge.
Most lithium-ion batteries cannot retain more than 80% of its storage capacity after 1,000 charge-discharge cycles. The stable redox chemistry of our cathode material potentially can enable much longer life. Our laboratory experiments have shown that our cathode can cycle over 50,000 times without degradation in supercapacitors, and we believe that it can be very effective in batteries as well.
By enabling higher charge-discharge cycles, it may be possible to extend the life of lithium-ion batteries and further reduce the total cost of ownership. In certain applications such as off-grid solar energy storage where the batteries are fully charged and discharged daily, it is not cost-effective to use current lithium-ion batteries due to short replacement life.
Reducing the Cost of Storing Electrical Energy Materials account for more than 70% of the cost of a battery. In particular, the cathode material makes up 20-35% of the total materials costs. Therefore, lowering the cost of the cathode is an effective way to lowering the total battery cost.
Processing materials and time are additional cost drivers. Our cathode can be processed from water and eco-friendly solvents, which (i) eliminates the use of costly and toxic solvents, (ii) eliminates high temperature drying processes, and (iii) speeds up the production throughput.
Many analysts in the electric vehicle and solar industry consider $100 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) to be the "holy grail" price threshold. In the case of electric vehicles, $100/kWh will make them undeniably cost-competitive with gas-powered vehicles. And in the case of solar, it will finally be cost effective to store daytime solar electricity for nighttime use and be less reliant on, or completely independent of, the power grid.
Intellectual Property BioSolar jointly filed a number of patent applications with the University of California, Santa Barbara ("UCSB") for "High Capacity Cathode for Use In Supercapacitors and Batteries and Methods for Manufacturing Such Cathodes." The lead inventor of the technology is UCSB professor Dr. Alan Heeger, the recipient of a Nobel Prize in 2000 for the discovery and development of conductive polymers.

Energy Storage Market To Hit $50 Billion By 2020
With a modern world running on electricity, the need for battery storage has never been greater. The ability to store energy, take it on the go, and use it later, has opened up a new world of "Killer Apps" such as long range electric vehicles, iPhones, and storage of renewable wind and solar energy for later use. The key to enabling these Killer Apps is better and lower cost batteries.
According to a 2014 report from Lux Research, the global energy storage market will rise to $50 billion by the year 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 8%. Much of the growth will be in electric vehicles, which will rise to $21 billion, followed by the incumbent consumer electronics segment such as iPhones, which will rise to $27 billion, with a reminder of $2.8 billion in stationary applications such as solar, back up power, and grid storage.
GTM Research and the Energy Storage Association predict that the energy storage market in the United States will triple in 2015, and will grow from $128 million in 2014 to $1.5 billion by 2019. Over 70% of installed energy storage capacity uses lithium-ion batteries, as the technology is proven and bankable.
High Growth MarketsElectric Vehicles
Transportation is the fastest growing segment of the battery industry and is one of the biggest users of energy storage. For example, with a modest sale of 440,000 units, electric vehicles will use $6.3 billion worth of batteries. This represents only a tiny sliver of the worldwide market of over 70 million cars per year. A low cost, fast charging, and long-range battery will enable the mass adoption and affordability of clean-energy electric vehicles to replace fossil fuel vehicles.
Solar Energy Storage
One hour of solar energy can power the entire world for a day. While cost-effective and efficient solar panels have allowed us to convert solar energy into useful electricity, the problem remains that the Sun does not shine at night. Cost effective battery solutions can fundamentally change the face of solar energy from a daytime-only power source to a full-time power source. As of 2014, nearly 90% of U.S. energy storage is deployed by the power companies. But, GTM Research and the Energy Storage Association predict that the fastest market will be deployments by end-users such as residential, commercial and industrial users, and is expected to be 45% of the overall market by 2019. Solar integration and demand charge management will primarily drive this growth.
Consumer Electronics
Consumer electronics include everything from mobile phones, laptops, power tools, to flashlights, will continue to be a huge segment of the market. Lux Research estimates this to be a $27 billion market by 2020. Higher energy capacity and rapid charge will enable mobile lifestyles where we don't have to worry about running out of battery, or be attached to wall outlets of airport terminals waiting for that extra charge.

“This is a very significant demonstration of capability, one we believe will foster collaboration with potential customers as well as silicon micro-particle or bulky powder suppliers,” said Dr. David Lee, Chief Executive Officer of BioSolar. “The outcome of this achievement using our proprietary technology will be extremely beneficial to battery manufacturers, as well as all electric device companies that continue to seek high energy and high power batteries, all at low costs. We believe the high performance and low-cost potential of this technology will result in increased adoption of various consumer applications, such as electric vehicles.”
The industry standard for Si anodes currently uses Si nano-particles, but the difficulty of manufacturing raw Si nano-particle materials remains a costly challenge. By contrast, Si micro-particles are easier to manufacture at a significantly lower cost. Unfortunately, anodes made from Si micro-particles are more prone to damage during battery charging and discharging due to volume expansion, thus not yet commercially viable. BioSolar’s innovative additive technology is designed to solve this problem.
About BioSolar, Inc.
BioSolar is developing a breakthrough technology to increase the storage capacity, lower the cost and extend the life of lithium-ion batteries. A battery contains two major parts, a cathode and an anode, that function together as the positive and negative sides. BioSolar initially focused its development effort on high capacity cathode materials since most of today's Li-ion batteries are "cathode limited." With the goal of creating the company's next generation super battery technology, BioSolar is currently investigating high capacity anode materials recognizing the fact that the overall battery capacity is determined by combination of both cathode and anode. By integrating BioSolar's high capacity cathode or anode, battery manufacturers will be able to create a super lithium-ion battery that can double the range of a Tesla, power an iPhone for two days straight, or store daytime solar energy for nighttime use. Founded with the vision of developing breakthrough energy technologies, BioSolar's previous successes include the world's first UL approved bio-based back sheet for use in solar panels.

THIS STOCK IS GOING TO MULTI DOLLARS IMO
agreed , not a fan of CLAY, posts basted on 30 min chart, so his report is allways based on the last half hour of power hour, witch power hour can go either way, buys or sells, really doest tell you what the stock is doing, the power it has, and sadly ,people listen to him
picked up 20k more today
healthy consolidation day
getting scarce now, noone selling
some profit taking,some weak hands, but the reality is that the base is forming in the .13 .14 range, the float is slowly getting locked at higher lvl, the os is only 54mil, float 46 mil or around there, as float locks up shares will become scarce, and once we hit that point, that when this runs, or if company puts out any update, in that case we will be doing this all over at the .30 range, IMHO
theres no doubt we see .20,.30 and more, maybe today, maybe tomorrow, this has the catalys to pop and run hard $$ are not unrealistic
this will have new hod today, hope too many peeps dont sell on the ugly chatter, this is a huge deal, do some dd before selling imo, dont listen to peeps that want your shares cheaper, billion $ company, trading @ $9 a share, with prjections of $18 a share just partnered with BSRC, who has PATENT protected technology that is a game changer in the battery world.
This stock is a no brainer, healthy consolidation is good, hold long and reap the rewards, all stocks consolidate, and all boards have the unsightly chatter, they linger like wolves waiting for a elk to stray from the heard., i think of them more like circle flyes myself, a circle fly is those little flyes that keep cirling a horses arse, im not calling them horses arses, dont get me wrong, but you cant fool a circle fly.
