A Soul of the New Machine for our time, a gripping account of invention, commerce, and duplicity in the age of technology

A worldwide race is on to perfect the next engine of economic growth, the advanced lithium-ion battery. It will power the electric car, relieve global warming, and catapult the winner into a new era of economic and political mastery. Can the United States win?

Steve LeVine was granted unprecedented access to a secure federal laboratory outside Chicago, where a group of geniuses is trying to solve this next monumental task of physics. But these scientists--almost all foreign born--are not alone. With so much at stake, researchers in Japan, South Korea, and China are in the same pursuit. The drama intensifies when a Silicon Valley start-up licenses the federal laboratory's signature invention with the aim of a blockbuster sale to the world's biggest carmakers.

The Powerhouse is a real-time, two-year account of big invention, big commercialization, and big deception. It exposes the layers of aspiration and disappointment, competition and ambition behind this great turning point in the history of technology.

用户评价

同样任劳任怨，韩国人可以选择回三星，LG,中国人却只能忍着为了混身份，这个看着心酸啊。还有作者你就不能多写写Tesla啊，就为了看这个！

通过对电池发展的回顾（着重讲了可充电锂电池和基于钴镍锰(NMC)的锂电池），讲了科研（阿贡国家实验室(ANL)）和产业（Envia）在发展中扮演的角色和起的作用。Envia的故事很有意思，对基于新材料NMC电池在实际/产业中的应用和商业化很有借鉴和警示意义。讲ANL如何竞争赢得能源部资助电池研究项，成立电池与能源储存中心对科研与产业结合的经历和经验值得学习。btw, Tesla的电动车用的基于镍钴铝酸锂(NCA)的18650电池，Powerwall的10-kwh是基于NCA，7-kwh是基于NMC。

注定小众的作品，但是每个锂电研究人员都应该阅读的了解工业界和自己工作意义的用心之作
