titanate

A secretive Texas startup ... claims that its system, a kind of battery-ultracapacitor hybrid based on barium-titanate powders, will dramatically outperform the best lithium-ion batteries on the market in terms of energy density, price, charge time, and safety.

The sintering means that the stones are compressed to a solid; barium titanate is also used in capacitors in electrical circuits, and in stone form as the heating element in hair straighteners.

If, instead of calling the graphite/cobalt oxide battery a lithium-ion battery, they had called it a, say, carbon-cobalt battery, today we would be talking about a carbon-manganese battery, a carbon-iron battery, a carbon-nickel battery, a titanate-nickel battery and so on and so forth.

In conclusion, you can choose to have a lithium iron phosphate/lithium titanate battery that operates extremely well and has a long life thanks to the use of nanoparticles... but what if I told that such battery only has a voltage output of around 2 V yeah, those lead-acid batteries don't look so bad anymore?

And if I mentioned that, in addition, the lithium titanate has about half the storage capacity of graphite, so the energy density of this great battery is lower than that in your cellphone Li-ion cells?
