This is the first I’ve heard of this.
Interesting. They use a Li metal anode instead of graphite with Li ions intercalated like in traditional Li-ion batteries. This allows better energy density. The description in the article sounds promising, but these articles often don’t tell you the (often critical) problems the batteries have. For example, solid electrolytes have been explored for decades, and usually they have a problem with high resistance at room temperature.
Most of these frequently announced battery “breakthroughs” don’t seem to make it to consumers.
However, with the push toward battery powered vehicles this may be about to change for the better.
Interesting!
In the next 5 years if anything like the previous 5 years we will see enormous changes battery technology.
