Battery Breakthroughs, Academia-Industry Feedback Loops, and Accelerating Impact with Prof. Yi Cui

“Usually, it takes the founders — the inventors — really strong faith to say, I believe this is so important,” says Stanford Prof. Yi Cui. “There's many challenges ahead of me, but I'm willing to put in my multiple years of life to be so dedicated to making it into the real world.” Prof. Cui grew up in China but has spent most of his life in the US, where he founded several companies, including the high-energy battery company Amprius, and 4C Air, which uses nanotechnology to filter out hazardous particles. Today, he is the faculty co-director of Stanford Ecopreneurship and a founding director of the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator. In this episode of the Stanford Ecopreneurship Podcast, he talks with Sam McClure about: - What academics can learn from becoming entrepreneurs - The role of Stanford's new sustainability initiatives -And the global transition to sustainable energy
