Company Profile (IBM)

Goal: create a powerful new battery for electric cars
  • as good as gasoline
  • 500 miles/800 km range per charge
  • a total electric drive system comparable in size, weight and price to a gasoline drive train
Technical Approach:
  • a lightweight 'air-cathode' replaces heavy metal-oxide cathods of today
  • encapsulated Lithium metal anode
Outlook:
  • this is a very high risk/very high reward, long horizon project
  • 3 years basic science, know of commercial applications before ~2020
  • joined research effort with National Labs and commercial partners
  • if successful, such batteries could dramatically reduce oil dependency
