Not sure how to word this.. But who should I be following in terms of battery/energy storage research and development companies? I'm less interested in start ups and more interested in bigger companies who are investing heavily in R&D

Lg chem Panasonic and Samsung, might be who you are looking for.

The big companies are ignoring the sector and just plan on buying the most profitable startups that look promising.

So ignore the fortune 1000 entirely and invest in smaller companies that are hiring engineers in chemistry if your goal is to invest effectively in battery technology.

But you are missing the advances in metallurgy (superconducting metals are making great strides), mechanical engineering (flywheel technology is taking advantage of new micro-controlled magnetic bearings) and physics.

This is the correct answer. Biggest battery company by a mile, and really embracing new battery techs

The ones who start delivering working units.

Look at the “Just Have A Think” channel on YouTube. He examines all the new battery techs, and revisits them periodically to see how they’re being developed etc
