Electric aircraft startup Lilium ceases operations, 1,000 workers laid off

 

What a sad outcome to an exciting concept ...

I've said it before here: there are plans for massive battery installations under cities to store energy (at the point of load) to back up renewable power systems.

What could possibly go wrong?

Battery companies that sell batteries for pacemakers will go out of business. With all the battery power under everyone, they won't need 'em anymore

 

Medical batteries are going solid state. Safety is definitely a factor driving this.

Switching to LFP would seem to be more logical.

LOL. It's like a hundred years ago all over again.

I don't know about anyone else around, but I like my batteries to be nice and heavy

It's interesting to see they are thinking about safety for a change.

 

I'm still trying to figure out how to make a steel/air battery Science fair style.

 

US firm achieves lithium battery breakthrough with liquid to solid electrolyte


​

“Our technology requires no changes to the existing manufacturing infrastructure, including today’s giga-factories. Design cells of any size, shape, or chemistry – enabling capabilities beyond imagination,” said the company in a statement.

"This next generation of injectable phase change electrolytes is a step toward meeting the demand for highly scalable solutions to power the future of lithium-ion batteries."

...

"The solidification process involves a chemical reaction that solidifies the Proteus precursors directly in the battery cell."

I think they should get their story straight prior to the next press release.

You're right ... maybe they're trying to impress people by using jargon that they don't understand themselves. ... OTH, can't the process involve both stages?

Literally, no.

The solidification process can be either the result of a phase change or a chemical reaction. It cannot be both.

Words mean things.
