Batteries in electric cars, but also for any other mobile use, require a high energy density. However, this is often associated with a shorter service life, which a new type of structure aims to change.
China is the center of lithium ion battery tech nowadays. I’ve recently seen that they managed to bring down battery prices by 50% in the last two years and their EVs are cheaper than combustion based alternatives for 2/3 of models being sold.
Agreed on all points but I have trouble believing that with this economy of scale there would be no money being pumped into R&D and in time some results of that.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
There needs to be a metric for how many gallons of water/kg the fire department will need to spray to extinguish the car.
Current tech is 200 to 250 so a substantial reduction in battery weight, 50% or 60%
Well, it’s a Chinese lab claiming to have it. So, I guess I’ll just wait for the proof.

Economy of scale is different from groundbreaking novel developments in the field.
China is also the runaway leader in false discoveries and purposeful fraud in academia.

Fair enough. Time will bear out the truth.
