I Donut believe a word they say

If you've been following the Donut Labs Solid State battery claims, you may already know they're hard to believe.

With the new test results from independent VTT labs, there is reason to believe it's a fraud and the cell is simply Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) being charged at an extreme 11C rate causing all the heat you would expect from that.

Testing The World's First Solid-State Battery

Great episode on the battery podcast "Geladen" about the Donutlabs solid state battery.
Apparently the original producing manufacturer is located in Germany and has experience in screen printing. There might be some truth to (part of the) original claims. But for now I'd still stay sceptical.
Great expert on the show, though!

2/2…pretending to be a battery. Of course no one will care if it performs below but still remotely near specs offered at the show. Likewise with production and scaling.There will be forgivenesses…
We know these kinds of leaps in #Engineering/ #Technology are rare. We also know they’re likely to become more frequent. And instantly copied. So no one will blame #DonutLabs for protecting a niche until they get off the ground. I’ll leave the sleuthing to others…but I’d start with a patent search

L’autre jour, @PierreCol attirait mon attention sur la #batterie solide de #DonutLabs, sacrément intéressante.
L’article qui suit est assez superficiel mais il semble que les acteurs majeurs du marché aient des doutes sur la réalité du produit. J’espère que leur batterie existe et tient ses promesses, pour la suite du #VehiculeElectrique.

Some small details in this Finnish article about #NordicNano and #DonutLabs (and their claimed #solidStateBattery):

https://yle.fi/a/74-20204159

Here the Nordic Nano boss seems to be stating that the battery being discussed is not a super capacitor.

Salaperäinen akkutehdas aloittaa tuotannon Imatralla – tiloja valvotaan, ympärille rakennetaan aita

Nordic Nano Group aloittaa pian akkukennojen valmistuksen. Yrityksen emoyhtiö Donut Lab on herättänyt paljon huomiota kiinteän akun kehityksellään.

Yle Uutiset

The #DonutLabs CEO posted on one Facebook conversation to say that third party tests of their #solidStateBattery will be published in a few weeks.

I still can’t make head or tails of this announcement. There is some speculation it’s a capacitor. I mean, more power to them if it is (kind of weird some say that as criticism), but capacitors have had substantially lower energy density.

Also capacity drain energy quite quickly.

Congratulations to the team working on saving our planet. This could transform the world as we know it.
