Pitch
Current battery storage technology relies on the mining of global reserves of lithium and cobalt, which are becoming incredibly rare and expensive. In addition, current battery technologies have safety issues, particularly at elevated temperatures. Our proposed technology is composed of safe, sustainable, environmentally-friendly, earth-abundant and cheap raw materials. These properties make our proposed technology an excellent candidate for these high-volume mobility applications, such as scooters and electric bikes. This battery would be especially useful in high density populations (such as Indonesia) where people need to travel shorter distances but particular weather conditions mean a more stable technology than is currently available is required.
