I went to article hoping to read some story like researchers have spend X million hours looking at Y thousand chemicals and nothing better is found. Instead the article sounds like directly published by lithion-ion lobby essentially saying that there is too much legacy now with us and nothing new would be accepted so don't even try. Right. If someone found battery that produces 10X more kWh in 10X less form factor, I'm sure this can easily be changed.
- yogthos 8y agoCompletely agree, a battery with 10x capacity would be huge. Imagine having mobile devices that only need to be charged once a week or so. There's one promising approach using fluoride that's being investigated right now. It's only a matter of time until this or something similar comes to market. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6419/1144 http://science.sciencemag.org/content/362/6419/1144
- zimmund 8y ago> Imagine having mobile devices that only need to be charged once a week or so. In practice we would have devices consuming 10x more power. The battery from your phone would probably power a phone from 2005 for more than a week.
- abandonliberty 8y agoDidn't phones from 2005 last for a week :) Joking aside, a blackberry bold from 2011 had 1200mah and the samsung s10 has 3400.
