Have they solved the problems of
1. sulfur plating the anode?
2. The cathode swelling during charge and mechanically damaging the cell?
If so, I'm excited! But last I checked thier solution to #2 was to clamp the cell between metal plates, which nullified the gains in energy density when considering the mass of the clamps.
- chrisdwyer 7y ago1 & 2. Not really and not really. Curious, have you ever heard of Boron-Nitride Nanotubes (BNNT)? Basically a new nanomaterial that is similar to carbon nanotubes except it has the rare property of being a high energy band-width semiconductor whilst having excellent thermal conductivity (basically solves problems 1. and 2.). Only problem is that its really hard to produce in mass quantity... well maybe... have a look at the company PPK
