What kind of battery/capacitor could you make with lithography/chip making techniques? Genuine question. I know there was an announcement about this recently. I know it would be far more expensive than the roll of tape that current lithium batteries use, but I have to imagine that Apple is working on this for the iPhone/etc
- Reelin 7y agoIs this the recent announcement you were thinking of? https://xnrgi.com https://xnrgi.com
- csours 7y agoMaybe. I thought I saw something from IEEE; it may have been this company. edit: Looks like yes: https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/the-smarter-grid/the-return-of-the-lithiummetal-battery https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/the-smarter-grid/the-return... edit again: also this from 2017 https://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/design/how-to-build-a-safer-more-energydense-lithiumion-battery https://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/design/how-to-build...
- Reelin 7y agoIt's the only one I know of applying standard semiconductor wafer techniques. If it works out, I think this one (https://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/energy/environment/a-glass-battery-that-keeps-getting-better https://spectrum.ieee.org/energywise/energy/environment/a-gl...) is a more promising battery technology in the long run due to lifespan. It appears to be far more preliminary at this point however.
