  it’s more of continuing series of AI hype

  this article is about changes to solid electrolyte only, you’d know that if you read the article. these have less conductivity ( = lower power density) tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  this work does nothing to address this, and they also include yttrium, because they focus on solid electrolytes for some reason (probably because chemical space is smaller)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI comes up with battery design that uses 70 per cent less lithium⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  you would know that if you read the article. they replaced part of lithium in electrolyte with sodium, so that they can use less lithium. the problem is decreased ion mobility ie less power density in real life terms.

  Baker and Murugesan both say that lots of work is left to optimise the new battery.

  bet

  i’m gonna mostly ignore this finding because it sounds like extension of AI hype. real lab work is still absolutely critical in order to make it work

  it took 9 months of lab work (by actual skilled material scientists) to make it tick, don’t hold your breath
