$ 4 BILLION POTENTIAL BOOST TO US LFP CAPACITY AS IRA IMPROVES ECONOMICS 7th October 2022 Batteries, Cathodes A total of $4 billion of possible investments into new lithium iron phosphate batteries and battery materials in the state of Michigan would mark a considerable increase in US production of the cheaper battery material.
Start-up Our Next Energy said it would invest $1.6 billion in a LFP battery cell and pack plant in the state, while Chinese producer Gotion said it would build battery cathodes and anodes in the state.
Erik Bakkers is in the Introduction video at this newly developed EHCI institute. He is a director at the new institute. Also below a link to an article about the new 1.1 billion Euro investment into tne development of Photonic chips at University Eindhoven with lots of good links to read. Erik Bakkers for one is trying to develop light emmission from direct bandgap SiGeand then a SiGe nanolaser something that IBM needs . He is a partner with IBM , Microsoft and Phillips. IBMs web site talks about needing SiGe lasers. I remember Bakkers saying that Coretecs CGS could be a game changer.
Dr. Erik Bakkers, Full Professor at TU/e in the Applied Physics Department will lead the research. Dr. Bakkers is one of the world’s foremost researchers in the field of nanomaterials including studies of higher order silanes, nanowires, and light emission from silicon. Dr. Bakkers’ lab has the capability to perform side-by-side comparisons of deposition characteristics of CHS and other silicon precursors and to properly characterize and assess film qualities of all such comparisons.
”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.
