| Abstract Scope |
The ‘Liquid Metal Battery’ promises to be a low cost and long lifespan battery for grid-scale energy storage applications, and the journey from the lab bench to a commercial product has been rewarding as well as challenging. After demonstrating a Mg||Sb cell chemistry in the research lab of Professor Sadoway at MIT, numerous new cell chemistries were developed and Ambri Inc. was created to finish development and commercialize the technology. This talk will share the journey from the initial concept at MIT, to early scientific studies and academic successes, to commercialization activities, pivots, and highlights from the commercialization efforts at Ambri. |
