SiO2 white paper anyone??

I’ve been trying in earnest to obtain an independently sourced (e.g. impartial, non-vendor sourced) White Paper study that explains (empirically) the operating characteristics of SiO2 battery technology, but heretofore after several search tries and forum request (to SiO2 advocates), have been left empty handed...

I do however believe that SiO2 batteries may be second to none in extreme weather applications (i.e. utility applications) and possibly suitable in general service applications as well...

Any assistance or search results regarding a empirical White Paper are much appreciated :) .......(please, no conjecture...)

    “ First step in creating a white paper is: What questions do I intend to answer? ”

    Exactly!,,But this runs 180 degrees contrary to today’s politically motivated (i.e. gov’t cash infused) impulse at ‘Outcome based’ science, aka the reemergence of medieval scientism (corrupted data, with wholesale conformity) - may Aristotelian critical thinking (little understood) R.I.P.

  • White papers are recognized only from accredited engineers or scientists.

    When a scholar creates a white paper (he) is essentially nailing his family jewels to the barn door.

    Pons and Fleischmann found out in the late eighties what happens to people who create a white paper frivolously. Both were staked to anthills.

    A white paper will explain specifics about a subject and must be convincing to the point where it can be used as a footnote in further research.

  • 3 tons,

    I'd have to say that Lithium Titanate are more than the equal of SiO2 for cold weather performance. However, they do cost an arm and a leg and your first born son.

    My opinion is that the LiT also blow LiFePo4 out of the water, excepting energy storage density.

    "Batteries with lithium titanate anodes have been known since the 1980s. Li-titanate replaces the graphite in the anode of a typical lithium-ion battery and the material forms into a spinel structure. The cathode can be lithium manganese oxide or NMC. Li-titanate has a nominal cell voltage of 2.40V, can be fast charged and delivers a high discharge current of 10C, or 10 times the rated capacity. The cycle count is said to be higher than that of a regular Li-ion. Li-titanate is safe, has excellent low-temperature discharge characteristics and obtains a capacity of 80 percent at –30°C (–22°F)..Feb. 11, 2021"

    I will be most excited if some one finds a genuine white paper, so thanks for starting this thread.
