Description:

R&D of the Storage system special case the Solid State batteries, so the world right now is suffering from being very few energy storages method which can hold energy, as most of the energy produced is consumed so not much energy are left for storage, the future should have more energy storage for long term goals like the solid-state batteries which already started to be used in some cars as it has really good feature compared to other batteries.

The liquid metal battery is comprised of a liquid calcium-alloy anode, a molten salt electrolyte and a cathode comprised of solid particles of antimony, enabling the use of low-cost materials and a low number of steps in the cell assembly process.

Enablers:

The liquid metal battery is comprised of a liquid calcium alloy which has many features:

- It uses a low-cost materials - The electrolyte is thermodynamically stable with the electrodes - The negative electrode is fully consumed when discharged, and then is reformed on every cycle, resulting in a highly repeatable process with no memory effect - Capacity fade with time isn't a problem in Metal Liquid batteries anymore. - It can work with a high performance even if the external Temperature reached 500 C - higher energy Density with the same size - Ambri’s commercial systems will be packaged in 500 – 1500 VDC containers with up to 1 MWh of capacity - Require Zero Maintenance - Ambri cells is far simpler and requires 1/3 of the capital expense per MWh of production than lithium-ion - Safer, longer life batteries for long-duration applications have emerged, no Risk for Explosition.

Inhibitors:

The price which is almost 8 times higher than the Li-ion batteries but according to experts in about 5-7 years we will have similar prices for solid-state batteries as the NMC cell costs.

Paradigms:

nowadays, a lot of storage systems are not reliable and cant be trusted to store the energy for a long time, so we will have a new way of storing energy which will be having big capacity with a smaller size and much longer lifetime

Experts:

Wikipedia Tesla Samsung

Timing:

in five years all of the energy storage systems will be changed once we got a good price for the Solid-state batteries.
