100 improvements in Batteries, Super Capacitors,Fuel Cells

 I've seen a lot of press releases and articles regarding Battery and SuperCapacitor improvements. I thought I would captures some of that Optimism 8) here and check back on them.

Quantumscape : Khosla, Stanford University, 1st ARPA-E round All-Electron Battery
Market: Autos
Advancement: the way material stacks together, electron flow vs Ion flow  ?
Benefits:
The footprint of fossil fuels-Power Density
High Cycle rate


2) 5.2010 Recapping + Khosla + Penn State
Market:?
Advancement: Ceramic Battery based on a 3D nanocomposite structure, like EEStor
Benefits 
high cycling ability,
high power density,
low cost

3)Boston Power (now in China)
Market: Auto
Advancement: lithium ion
Benefits: small size means easier QC, similar to Tesla

4) 9.2011 AES Large Grid Storage
Market: Battery Grid Storage
Advancement-Execution


5) Rebunieus 1GW Grid Storage in Mexico

6)Nocerra MIT artificial Leaf for hydrogen
Market: Hydrogen for Hydrogen Fuel Cells
Advancement: Solar and Water and Catalyst = Hydrogen

 7)Mission Motors Motorcycle Battery
Market: Motorcycles and move up?

33 1000 mile car battery MAIL Battery
500-mile EV batteries. With the help of Recovery Act funding, Arizona-based Fluidic Energy is working with Arizona State University to develop a new generation of higher energy density metal-air batteries (metal air ionic liquid batteries, MAIL). To date, the development of these batteries has been blocked by the limitations of using unstable water based solutions that break down and evaporate out of the battery as it breathes. Fluidic Energy’s approach involves ionic liquids. If successful, the effort could yield batteries that weigh less, cost less, and are capable of carrying a four passenger electric car 500 miles without recharging, at a cost competitive with internal combustion engines.

46) Molten Salt Battery 

47) Applied Materials and improved battery production technology

Nalamasu ended his talk on a retro note. The manufacturing process for batteries, even the lithium-ion batteries in a Toyota Prius or Telsa Roadster, has barely changed for a century. Applied Materials is developing a new, cheaper process that cuts the traditional 14 stages of production down to three.
