John Goodenough, the most important battery inventor of the modern era, has died at 100. In 2019, Goodenough won the Nobel in chemistry for his invention of the lithium cobalt oxide cathode, the central advance igniting the portable electronic and EV revolutions 1/7.
US DoE grants for creating a US battery supply chain are out
$2.8billion in total being committed
🇺🇸🔋⚡️💪
Do you think this will help to create a strong battery supply chain in the US?

Gonna put a little kvell on this: @howienchu, a wonderful researcher that worked in my nascent lab as an undergrad @CityCollegeNY and then worked with @MonroeResearch for his doctorate is a big part of the ICL win. Congrats Howie! US ceded LFP and now you're righting this error.

Preprint on thermal modelling for large-format LFP pouch cells by Jie Lin, @howienchu, & @DavidHowey:
See how adding microscopic intercalation processes can account for the distinctive heat signatures in these batteries!

Huge congratulations to Dr.@Howienchu who just passed his DPhil Viva on coupled electrochemical/thermal/mechanical phenomena in large-format lithium-ion batteries!!!
The paper: "A dynamic stability design strategy for lithium metal solid state batteries"
The press release: "Battery breakthrough for electric cars"
The tweet: "solid-state is solved ezpz gg no re"
