Areal capacity is an important battery metric in our echem glossary #battchat

areal capacity = [mAh/cm2] The amount of charge a given area of electrode can store. Active material capacity/area of electrode. Directly impacts the total capacity of the cell.
Higher areal capacity = more energy
per cell.

When I feel that way I just go to calseed.fund and look at all the future funding for energy storage available, and which hubs CA is trying to grow on their innovation cluster map. As long as people still see this vision, the industry will bounce back!!
