What I meant when I said that maybe they saw something in the battery I was speaking about the makeup, not necessarily performance as they were doing a material characterization.
A porous Silicon makeup with the Lithium contained in the tiny wells and its resultant behavior in the prevention of dendrite formation, may have piqued researchers curiosity in how this would react to the overcharging and abuse.
This would not be evident to encourage investment and uptake in battery adoption until a formal report is issued by the DOE.
We have seen the puncture test video and the safety aspects are impressive.
So as we all ponder, if 5 to 10 times density ( which is incredible ) and safety at higher than normal batteries, it begs the question.
What is holding NEAH back ? what is the underlying and contract killing unknown ( at least to us ) element about NEAH that is preventing funding and commercialization ?
Is NEAH's debt killing potential deals ? Will D'Couto finish driving NEAH to bankruptcy and then "fire sale" the IP to XNRGI ?
The fact that NEAH will not come out with any commentary as to the battery or the DOE projects "in Progress", or even a clear description as to the possible battery configurations they could immediately commercialize makes me wonder at their intentions.
JMHO
