Hello there. I am a recovering Chemist having abandoned chemistry for SRE. Recovering because am now getting back, teaching myself and such. I just cant stop thinking of the beautiful world of molecules, charges etc
I'd really like Ambri to succeed. It's not clear if the use of low cost materials for the storage chemistry will produce low system costs. The inexpensive chemistry appears to have led to expensive problems with seals/separators. Similar materials problems have kept sodium-sulfur battery costs high, even though the active storage materials are cheap, abundant, and offer good energy density.
Yeah, this space is very exciting at the moment. Would be great to see a summary of all the current incumbents and new companies and what they're working on.
