Seems my threading earlier on @QuantumScapeCo went a bit bananas, so I'll collect some general post-presentation post-dinner thoughts/questions/observations under here... 1/
So finally we got to see some cycling data: 1 hour charge/discharge, practical capacities, >800 cycles achieved seemingly quite readily - for a so-called anode free Li metal cell these results are very impressive! 2/
Key caveat though - these are single layer pouch cells, which need to be brought up to many (20+) layers to commercialise. This is presumably not easy else I'd expect a company at this stage to show proof of concept multilayer cells... 3/
Settling down for the much-anticipated #QuantumScape reveal. A little taste of this already on their website, link below. Feels like a thread coming on... ir.quantumscape.com/news/news-deta…
Interesting to hear from the start a clear disclaimer about this showcase presenting "forward looking statements", making clear that reality might differ from expectation outside of QS's control
Recap of investment: they're well-funded by now, having raised ~$1.5bn so far, about ~$300m has gone into R&D so far. VW are committed to the tune of $300m, and have a joint venture with QS for manufacturing. Now they're listed, market cap was ~$15bn last I checked...
Launching a weekly #Battery Modeling webinar series Tuesday 3 PM GMT with talks from grad students & postdocs inspired by the success of #OBMS20! First up, we have @AnkitVerma6491 presenting on Microstructure Aware Modeling of Lithium-ion Batteries iopscience.iop.org/article/10.114…
The #Battery Modeling Webinar series is underway with @AnkitVerma6491 presenting on microstructure aware battery models to ~70 participants! #BMWS 
Next week on Tuesday, 3 PM GMT, we will have Dr. Peter Attia giving a talk on "Closed-loop optimization of fast-charging protocols for #batteries with machine learning" based on his recent @nature paper. nature.com/articles/s4158… Here is the link to join:
