Abstract
A technology developed at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has sparked a start-up company that has attracted funding from the Advanced Projects Research Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). Planar Energy, Inc. has licensed NREL's 'buried-anode' technology and put it to work in solid-state lithium batteries. The company claims its large-format batteries can achieve triple the performance of today'slithium-ion batteries at half the cost, and if so, they could provide a significant boost to the emerging market for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
