Planar Energy

About Planar Energy
Planar Energy, the developer of large-format, solid state batteries at half the cost and triple the performance of lithium-ion batteries, was founded in Orlando, Fla., in 2007. It was spun out of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., by Princeton, N.J.-based Battelle Ventures and its Knoxville, Tenn.-based affiliate fund, Innovation Valley Partners (IVP). In 2008 Planar Energy identified a new deposition technology, Streaming Protocol for Electroless Electrochemical Deposition, or SPEED, a high speed roll-to-roll deposition process that is dramatically more flexible and scalable than existing methods, allowing Planar Energy to overcome production barriers to low-cost solid state batteries. SPEED was developed by Dr. Isaiah Oladeji, a semiconductor materials researcher that came from Bell Labs, who is now senior research scientist at Planar Energy.

    I always quote the great Chick Hearn on these deals: "It'll count if it goes!" I hope it does. More power to them. Of course, I said the same thing about EEstor the fist time I heard about them, LOL.

    Yes, Increase capacity by 200% to 300% and reduce cost by 50%....I belive it and we will see it in the next 5 to 10 years...if not by this group then by someone else!!!

    I heard that they don't even have anyone know anything about the battery, all battery people were laid off last year. Maybe someone should start a software company and only hires those that never even heard C language, and that software company will be very successful.

    Better batteries will come and remember, Solar, Wind, Wave, Hydro, Tidal, Geothermal, Nuclear are all convertible to only electric fuel - not liquid fuel! Once we have blown Iraq's oil out the tailpipes, we have only Iran to conquer, then we are back to domestic electric again! in decades! Battery cars are ballast for huge nuclear power installations and soak up the low demand power for use when we need it. Imagine the Chinese Nuclear/electric sourced electric bullet train networks imported to the U.S.A. and only short car trips to terminals necessary! Imagine no more airplanes sucking down the oil supply on domestic flights - only trains and cars - all electric! Better batteries will be developed, if not by Americans certainly by Asians who have greater demand for them than we can ever imagine!
