Profile
PolyPlus started operations in Berkeley, California in 1991 based upon inventions made by two scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and since then the Company has built one of the strongest battery development teams in the world resulting in breakthroughs in Lithium-Sulfur, Lithium-Air, and Lithium-Water batteries. PolyPlus has made a major breakthrough in the invention of protected lithium metal electrodes (PLEs). The result is the development of battery chemistries with unprecedented energy density, including rechargeable and non-rechargeable Lithium-Air and Lithium-Water batteries. The Company has recently demonstrated Li-Water batteries that have delivered 1300 Wh/kg, the highest specific energy ever measured for any battery chemistry.

Printed electronics killer applications
Printed and partly printed electronics and electrics are not being applied to very expensive things or electronic things first. It is more about modernising printing more than it is about modernising electronics.7 Oct 2010
Sakti3 Third generation batteries backed
Earlier this year, the University of Michigan traction battery spinoff Sakti3, inc. announced $7 million in second round of venture funding led by capital firm Beringea, in addition to Khosla. Now G.M. Ventures has invested $3.2 Million in the company. Vloet/University of Michigan Professor Ann Marie Sastry of the University of Michigan is chief executive of Sakti3.24 Sep 2010

Global progress with electric taxis
Taxis are an excellent proving ground for electric vehicle technologies because they are professionally managed, intensively used, standardised in fleets and can have depots dedicated to their needs. That is why they are being used to trial fuel cells and/or lithium ion batteries in, China, Japan, the USA, the UK and elsewhere. Battery swapping is more feasible with standardised, centrally managed taxis than with the confusion of design and management of electric cars.3 Sep 2010

Electric Vehicles in East Asia
The Western media obsess about electric cars to be made in the West, many of them being both overpriced and underperforming in global terms. This misses the fact that 56% of the value of sales of electric vehicles is and will remain in East Asia and cars only account for about half of the value of the electric vehicle business worldwide.12 Apr 2010
A step toward lighter batteries
