Quebec hydro is actually developing it to go to grid scale. They have much better performance and none of the problems. In fact the early evidence is that the batteries somehow get better over time.
If that all sounds too good to be true, it's worth reading what other battery experts have to say about these claims. For example:
> The ninth research paper in Braga and Goodenough's "glass battery" work regrettably shows many of the hallmarks of pathological science. ... ad hoc theory, violations of the laws of thermodynamics, basic mistakes, disregard for established knowledge, absent or invalid chemical characterisation and, when all is said and done, devices that don't work the way they're said to.
>If that all sounds too good to be true, it's worth reading what other battery experts have to say about these claims. For example:
I wouldn't say it 'sounds too good to be true' when a nobel laureate is the one publishing. The same guy who invented the battery everyone uses today. With work being confirmed by multiple countries and multiple universities.
Flipside, this guy has a bias as he's a direct commercial competitor.
and as a battery expert he's saying things like:
>This is, as best I can work out, how it goes:
So he's not a battery expert? He doesn't understand?
>I am not especially familiar with field-effect transistors, but I will touch on this briefly to try and put it in to some sort of context.
> The ninth research paper in Braga and Goodenough's "glass battery" work regrettably shows many of the hallmarks of pathological science. ... ad hoc theory, violations of the laws of thermodynamics, basic mistakes, disregard for established knowledge, absent or invalid chemical characterisation and, when all is said and done, devices that don't work the way they're said to.
