- The race to create a solid-state battery that could compete with today’s lithium-ion cells is heating up. In the past few years, there’s been a lot of R&D around solid electrolytes that promise to be safer and more powerful. In this video, we visit Sakuú, a company that doesn’t just want to make solid-state batteries, they also want to 3D-print them.

What breakthrough technology do you want us to cover next?
Breakthroughs in individual use affordable 3-d printers?
Display technology also makes large jumps with LED technology becoming smaller and smaller and pixel density increases, also robot assisted micro surgery will be a gamechanger
I am going to name starups:
Commonwealth Fusion Systems - Fusion
QuEra or Quantinuum - Quantum computing
Make a video on quantum noise power device..
Make a video about graphene and micro led, they're definitely the future but where are we now..
I've been hearing about amazing battery breakthroughs that are going to give you "a million hours on a 5 second charge" for 30 years and all we ever get are small slow advances.
@@EggEnjoyer nah the math doesn't check out.
@@MySUHIT It's an exaggeration but he's not wrong. Battery technology is definitely evolving but it's hard to notice when demand for higher energy density is rapidly outpacing the advances. That's why solid state lithium batteries are a big deal, because once they hit the market (and unlike most technologies, they _will_ hit the market - they're already in production), we might see the first real revolution in vehicles.
Of course, if someone can manage to pull off affordable mass-producible graphene batteries, that will assuredly change the future forever. The holy grail isn't meant to be so easily attainable.
Well you're full of crap because had you actually been watching for 30 years you'd have seen the massive leap of lithum ion over the previous generation.
Same with fusion reactors.
I remember being told how we were all going to be driving hydrogen cars by the late 90's.
Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that this is probably the best directed seeker video! Kudos to the director
Can't believe music being too loud is still an issue.
The music gets louder as you grow older 🤣
That 2023 deadline is super agressive, im willing to bet that it will more look like 2024 or 2025 for that factory to start to pump out batteries
Dr. Stone taught me how to make a battery.
This is pretty awesome, the possibilities are endless. "Time to get excited."
While it's great to see more competition in the solid state battery market, I feel like this technology is a little too niche. Maybe it'll work well for handheld electronics but energy density is what matters most for anything larger than a laptop.
You mean volumetric energy density for small products and mass energy density for large products
Just make it bigger
I remember watching pbs nova documentary about the future of batteries. I have been waiting for this. The next big investment is the future of batteries in my opinion.
Your data at 8:00 is incorrect. Lithium-ion batteries have increased sharply in price this year. Lithium as a commodity is up nearly 200%.
the next breakthrough with batteries would probably include the usage of the cell's capacity to store "stuff"
WE NEED MORE OF THIS!!!!
Whenever I watch videos like this I'm always like: "wake me up when this is a thing", because all I see is the world dying and prices rising...
Reeeally looking forward to better battery tech as a guy that flies fpv drones
I’m a firm believer in the electric powertrain.. we just need better battery tech
This is very intriguing
Looking forward to the future
Maybe Layers of Graphen on top of each other.. Magic angle and superconductivity ..hope they achieve further breakthroughs there
I imagine stable metalic hydrogen and/or polycumulene as the next, next step in energy storage, EM confinement, and multipurpose materials engineering.
As drunk as I am (very...), contributing to this technical advancement is my lifelong goal.
What year is that penny? 1982-present - 97.5% zinc, 2.5% copper
if these batteries are safer will that allow for higher capacity batteries in labtops for air travel cuz the max is 99 kwhs
What about Adden batteries, are they more efficient than theirs?
Seeker had really upped their game the production quality is a huge step up
Cover where and how the cobalt for the batteries is mined.
This is scary that this video was suggested to me when I was just yesterday thinking about that we need new kind of batteries that are safer and different. 😮
Looks AMAZING and exciting!!!!
I hope it happens soon!
Are they publicly traded? What's the stock symbol?
Thanks in advance!

Always use a slow charge for your cellphone. If youre using the fast charging that comes with your cellphone, you'll notice it heats up your phone. That's Terrible for your battery, and you're degrading your battery life even quicker with every charge. Slow charge over night.
Wow that was cool, might buy stock 😅
now that graphene can be produced better than before we can expect graphene batteries in the next 5 years
Nooo....we found out graphene batteries can charge damn fast like less than 2 mins...but..the life cycle of it ranges from 100 to 200 recharges...which is wayy less than lithium...but it does have it uses..idk what for..but it has its uses
3d printing takes time and we should know 3D modelling. I know only cad. Is there any easy process like scanning 2D and converting automatically to 3D?
did she get cathode and anode backwards?
So close to Industrial-grade Replicators...
Im 100% sure after 5 to 10 years from now, we will laugh on a Li-Ion Batteries!
For potential outer space use: Potential endless energy source basically anywhere in this universe:
a. Small aluminum cones with an electrical wire running through the center of the cones, cones spaced apart (not touching I'm thinking) but end to end.
b. Electromagentic radiation energy in the atmosphere interacts with the aluminum cones.
c. Jostled atoms and molecules in the cone eventually have some electrons try to get away from other electrons of which those electrons gather at the larger end of the cone, of which also creates an area of positive charge at the smaller end of the cone.
d. The electron's in the wire are attracted to the positive end of the cone and the positive 'end' in the wire are attracted to the negatively charged end of the cone.
e. Basically a 'battery' has been created inside the electrical wire itself, different areas of electrical potential. Basically a 'wire battery' or a 'batteryless battery', however one wanted to call it.
f. Numerous cones placed end to end increases the number of 'batteries' in the wire.
(In series to increase voltage, in parallel to increase amperage).
* Via QED (Quantum Electro Dynamics) whereby electromagnetism interacts with electrons in atoms and molecules, one would have to find the correct 'em' frequency for the correct material being utilized for the cones. The shape of the cones could also come into play. The type and size of the wire as well as the type and thickness of the insulation between the cones and the wire would also be factors.
* Of course also, possibly 2D triangles made up of certain materials with a conductor going down through the center of the triangle could possible achieve the same 'batteryless' battery system.
* Plus possibly with the 2D concept, layered 2D's that absorb different energy frequencies, thereby increasing the net output.
Also for potential outer space use: MODIFIED MOLECULES:
More dense molecules with potentially new characteristics created primarily for potentially better protections from harmful cosmic radiation in outer space as well as different applications on planets and moons.
Setup:
a. A more complex molecule.
b. It exists under:
1. A certain gravitational energy field.
2. Under certain electrical interactions.
3. Under certain magnetic interactions.
4. In a certain temperature.
5. In a certain pressure.
Modification:
a. Change 1 or more of the above items to change the shape of the molecule.
Effects:
(When modification item[s] removed):
a. Molecule returns to it's original shape.
b. Molecule returns to a shape larger than it's original shape.
c. Molecule returns to a shape smaller than it's original shape.
d. If larger than or smaller than it's original shape, then possibly the same molecule with different interacting characteristics, and if smaller than it's orginal shape, then a more dense molecule.
e. Other atoms and/or molecules might be able to be attached to this 'new' material, and the 'new' larger molecule could possibly be modified as above yet again and on and on. The possibilities are virtually endless.
f. New 'space age' material being formed for various uses.
At least AI's in outer space might be powered and protected, other species still working on.
I think what you are describing here is a solar panel lol (except for the materials that you want to use) its very very similar
@@lodewijkbakker3246 A solar panel only taps into the visual light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. There are many more electromagnetic energy frequencies that can be tapped into. For example, the microwave background radiation basically throughout the universe. Have to match the correct energy frequency with the correct material via QED and possibly even QCD.
Could you cover Atmospheric Carbon Capture please?
"Too much proprietary stuff" is code for vaporware
Thank you! Im so hopeful but what is there to prove that they have at least even a few products manufactured? Quantumscape and solid power are spacs which I don't trust. But want to bite the bullet so bad to buy some shares. I just don't want the company to have misled me. Marketing can be a scam sometimes and that's what these channels do. Without adding any informational substance.
Australian scientists have discovered an enzyme that converts air into energy. The finding, published today in the journal Nature, reveals that this enzyme uses the low amounts of the hydrogen in the atmosphere to create an electrical current. This finding opens the way to create devices that literally make energy from thin air.
Can we get a vid on this?
7:16 well said
Awesome 👍
That is a stainless steel screw, not a galvanized nail. There is still a difference in potential between your anode and cathode, but it is much closer and, therefore, weaker than a traditional potato battery.
have you noticed she called the cathode a positive end and the anode a negative
Another "let me show you the future" expose with props, platitudes, and hype.
Actually we recently got the best batterys "the diamond battery" search in youtube about because is really a big step from the lithium ones
I was thinking "why do Seeker videos feel like Vox videos now", and looked it up on Wikipedia. Turns out Vox now owns Group Nine Media, which owned Seeker. Figures.
Thunderfoot incoming!!!!
Really interesting but it has to be a ground breaking advantages to outrun the commerce of ion lithium batteries or it will happen very slow, through the years If it happen...
i dont comment on youtube but i never saw beauty with intelligence and amazing voice
The ultimate future for batteries, and solar cells, is to be engineered molecule by molecule.
When it comes to weight/capacity ratio , I dont think you could beat a lithium-ion battery.
lithium is a very lightweight.
Applications that are portable and light, lithium will remain king.
But Applications that are no that concerned about those above mentioned, might have a chance.
my 2cents.
Isn't the positive end,the anode?
How to I invest on this?
I think the biggest problem with batteries is how to recycle them. We should stop worrying about smaller and smaller components, instead make them recyclable. Even if it means bigger components.
The 12V lead acid batteries are the most recyclable thing in a car with 99% of recyclability, Lithium ION is extremely recyclable as well. Batteries are really easy to recycle and I expect that the materials that will use could end up being recycled as well
"Just think of any battery pack as super high grade ore - it is always better to start with high grade ore than low grade!" - Elon Musk
I think another way is to find safer materials for batteries.
@@91rummy That's the point with solid state batteries
i really liked that “not charging us for the printer” part. thats awesome
am I the only one who spotted a mistake? unlike what she said in the start, i think cathode is - end and anode is + end.
Soon we can make 3D printers with 3D printers.
I wonder what an empty potato tastes like
Thankyou so much 🙏🙏🙏 seeker mam
You are the real teacher of science and cosmology and astrophysics and astronomy
Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏
The are not gods
@@melliwmw6667
Thankyou 🙏🙏🙏
I think seminsoild or gell would be alternative
Thanks for the caveats section at the end being sceptical. All to often new tech is over hyped.
cathode is not a positive electrode its a negative electrode if iam not wrong
One giant 3d printer can make 500 car batteries per YEAR? That’s not gonna make a dent
Pretty sure Cathode is negative and Anode is positive
thank you
Can’t wait for this to come in 20 years
Make a video on quantum noise power device...
Isd code..
The efforts are honest but direction is doubtful ?
We're trying to get away from Lithium Ion batteries
5 seconds later: They print their batteries with litium metal
Me: _Do the Future Lithium shortage Dance_
Cathode is negative, as Google say.
Thanks for the content
I hope they think also how to recycle these new thinks.
From what I gather, most dry cell batteries (DCB) are just metals. Usually you can just melt them down like lead. Generally speaking that is.
Their So Guarded Lol.. 8:00
You get what is available from the factory as no company pays for licensing of new tech.
Science is really beautiful.
When you described the foundation of a chemical battery you could have said: "The chemical composition of the potato when combined with zinc in metals together with copper is what causes a reaction between the released positively charged and negatively charged ions of the potato resulting in the flow of electricity". Instead, you babied it down. Is it a wonder that the internet if full of misinformation? Either you want people properly informed or you are just entertaining and could not care less about the quality of your information.
I would prefer to just hear the engineer talk and explain what the battery is. I'm sorry but when it comes to technical things that should be the engineer talking no the reporter.
Aight!
GMG's (Graphene manufacturing group) alluminium ion batteries with Alluminium and graphene based batteries can dominate all battery chemistry if what they are claiming is found to be true and pacticality is found to be feasible over next 2yrs
Very high ampere from potatoes 🤣
This procedure gonna be the best choice for development.......main goal to reduce weight
It is funny that to show the battery fire they chose to show the model S plaid fire that was staged by a short seller which was proved to be fake.
Battery development is the art of believably promising revolutionary technology five years into the future. Provided they're given the desired fundings, of course.
I prefer reading a note.
A battery does NOT need to come from a chemical source. Anything that can store (potential) energy that can be converted into a usable (kinetic) energy, is a battery.
Yay batteries🔋
The question is does it explode?
No, that's the whole point behind solid state batteries; they're way more stable. She said this in the video.
I need more potatoes 😅
Love It!!!!
Can math be rendered into a physical form?
Iss Seeker dead no new videos why ???
The battery explanation seems copied…
I have seen the same exact thing somewhere else on youtube
Sounds like only a 50years wait to see their product in mass scale!
Alright battery around the product sounds great until it gets punctured if that happens the energy within the battery is released. And can and will be deadly 3d printing the material won’t stop that from happening unless it’s made of an entirely different material capable of holding in… whatever never I don’t care anymore.
They shouldn't allow people with vocal fry to narrate these videos
Hit me up on telegram with the above username
Having seen many of these startups claim to have created a revolutionary process and at the end run away with the money when their idea proves futile, I hope there actually are innovations being made.
Add this to the long list of other miracle batteries that will never make it to market.
Yeah, the 3d printed part will take more time. But solid state battery are already in use and production. Toyota already started using solid state battery.
Sure could just have split the potato up into pieces.
Think this is interesting? Check out meta surfaces and < salt grain sized cameras
I liked it :)
This lady is emotionless 😂
One step further would be to put a layer of solar cells on top of a battery in the shape of the roof of a car, where the roof is the battery, and the solar cells can recharge the battery as long as it got sunlight, of course.
"flow of electrons".
I get why, but like... that's not how it works.
Excelente vídeo. Vocês tem vídeo sobre lentes líquidas (liquids lenses) ?
Wheres all the radioactive rocks, i can hook electrodes from them to phone
SEE BORON BATTERY
Expert at the end: "it needs to be perfect to replace Lith Ion Bat's"
ah yes. because when lithium ion first came to the scene it *was not* a piece of sh*t tech that only marginally beat out it's competitors?
and nobody wanted to make them.
wasn't the first large scale production of them done after a bigboi corporation couldn't convince a DOZEN other bigboi corps to help them? XD
"no but it needs to be perfect"
it's clear he didn't major in Econ, common sense, history or even his own field LOL
វ៉ូវ😲😲
Most "better battery" startups do little but spend investors money
🔋🔋🔋
