Ah ha! Negative space. Crafty..
But any resultant automobile equipped with this new technology will still ultimately run on coal, and have a larger overall negative environmental impact than a conventional gasoline engine. All of these ‘science’ articles have a greenie-weenie subtext.
The issue I have with lithium-ion batteries, is not the energy density so much. The caution I have is that if you pack the amount of energy in a container equal to the amount you would have with hydrocarbon fuels, it would be the equivalent to storing both the fuel and the oxidizer in the same tank.
You essentially have a bomb... This doesn’t alleviate this problem, it makes it worse.
How much Toxic Waste is produced making this paper-like material ?
I’m convinced that nanotechnology will bring unseen breakthroughs in battery technology. And you’ll be able to see each and every one ridiculed by the science-class flunkouts right here on FR.
I hope this makes it into a product one of these days. There’s been thousands of papers like this, and that’s the last we hear of it.
