For thirty years, lithium-ion was goodenough. But turns out goodenough has an expiration date.
The battery in your phone uses chemistry from 1991.
Four times better energy density than the original.
But graphite anodes are approaching their theoretical limit.
Physics won’t let us squeeze much more out.
Two successor technologies are already in motion.
One is shipping in phones right now. The other could make battery fires a thing of the past.
We wrote about the full arc, from Volta stacking coins in 1800 to Toyota claiming 1,200 km range on a 10-minute charge.
Especially with the oil stuff going on these days, worth to know where we are headed :D

Lithium-ion battery chemistry, in use since 1991, is approaching its theoretical limits with graphite anodes. Two successor technologies are emerging: silicon-carbon batteries already shipping in phones, and solid-state batteries that could eliminate battery fires. The piece traces battery history from Volta's 1800 experiments to Toyota's claimed 1,200 km range on a 10-minute charge with solid-state tech.
