Correct, I want to point out that John Goodenough was responsible for the basic research which lead to all lithium-ion batteries.
I explicitly intended LiFePO to be included, and I hope for a variety of reasons that it's much more popular than cobalt-heavy formulas in ten years.

- scythe 4y agoI have been interested in the technology from TexPower: https://texpowerev.com/ https://texpowerev.com/ They offer a lithium-nickel chemistry without cobalt. If it can be proven in practice, it would allow comparable density to the best car batteries in a scalable chemistry. The founder is a researcher at the University of Texas who wrote several papers on the chemistry: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/adma.202002718 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/adma.2020027... https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2405829720303731 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S240582972... https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/aenm.202102421 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/aenm.2...
