Paper battery could take over for lithium-ion ... in EVs and beyond | Using a chemistry of renewables to store over 220 W/kg, capable of replacing lithium for applications like EV power and grid storage.
A battery that's safer and cheaper than lithium-ion while offering comparable energy density? That sounds like a pipe dream. But such a battery is in fact in the works, using a chemistry of renewables to store over 220 W/kg. Singaporean startup Flint believes it has the formula for the most…
In fact, the company wasn't initiated as a battery startup at all but developed organically from the innate desire to answer the question, "Why are the tools we depend on to power our lives so harmful to the planet?" Company founder and CEO Carlo Charles and his team believe that the best solution won't ever come from merely tweaking existing battery tech but from rethinking the entire system. Finally, if you still have a little bit of credulity left to offer, Flint claims its cellulose-based battery is significantly safer and more stable than lithium, virtually eliminating the chance of catastrophic fire.
