Hey community!

We have some exciting news to share 🎉🍾

E.ON and Superdielectrics have partnered up to revolutionise cleaner energy storage!

So what does this mean I hear you ask?

Well put simply E.ON are collaborating with Superdielectrics a Cambridge based energy storage company with an aim to advance British developed battery storage 🔋

Together they set to develop a revolutionary polymer-based storage technology and renewable energy. This is a unique approach where the main component is a membrane similar to contact lens materials 👀 making it more affordable and safer for the environment - giving millions of homes access to cheaper, safer and cleaner energy!🍃

What are the benefits?

• Faster charging ⚡
• Lower costs 💰
• Longer lifespan 🔋
• Better for the planet 🌍

It will be interesting to see where this goes but I'm thinking 10 years plus as a minimum before it gets to market, if ever. Solid state batteries have been in development for years now, Toyota I think said that they were going to be using them in cars before 2020. BYD have said that they will launch cars with solid state batteries in 2027, I wouldn't be putting a bet on it myself.

What works in theory and on a small scale in a lab doesn't always come to work in the real world, solid state batteries is clear evidence of this and the money that is being poured into solid state batteries would probably make E.on and Superdielectrics eyes water.

There is something missing though, there's no mention of battery capacity or energy density. If it doesn't equal Lithium Ion, then it's a non starter I think, that's before comparing it to Lithium Iron Phosphate or the ever promised Solid State batteries.
