Whatda ya know, I bumped into wonderboy at the talk sporting an ecomodder t-shirt hogging all the face time with the professor
It was a fairly straightforward talk about the energy problem and the role of electric technology in the future of transport. There was some interesting slides regarding which areas of the periodic table yield different battery chemistries, and talks of potential shortages of lithium and where it is located geographically.
I was surprised he didn't even touch on LiFePO4 chemistry or advantages, talking mostly about LiCoO2 and variants. There was talk about Sulfur batteries, as well as Zinc air and Lithium Air possibilities.
