A totally worthless article with almost zero information.
They say the electrolyte suppresses lithium dendrites, so my guess is the anode is lithium metal, rather than carbon, silicon, or sulfur to absorb the lithium.
But the don't actually say the anode is lithium metal. There's also some nonsense about extracting materials from sea water, so it could be a sodium ion battery.
Altogether a waste of time announcement.
- intpx 7y agosounds to me like they are just re-announcing existing announcements for sodium batteries with glass electrolytes?
- Accujack 7y agoFor anyone but IBM to announce this, yes. However... IBM is mostly about IP at this point, they are one of the few companies in the world that still has a cutting edge research division in house. They're responsible for a lot of the tech in present computer chips, like silicon on insulator or copper chip interconnects. Possible this is just fluff, but with IBM it's not guaranteed.
