Breakthrough Science Primer: Lithium Batteries
Battery technology has been one of the major enablers of innovation over the last 50 years. From cell phones to electric cars, every advance made in stored energy density has been accompanied by a sizeable step forward in numerous consumer devices.
Limitations in portable energy storage remain one of the biggest reasons that we aren’t yet moving around in powered exoskeletons or commuting in flying cars, and our inability to quickly and efficiently extract enough lithium to replace our fossil-fuel economy creates additional challenges.
However, we are on the verge of exciting breakthroughs in battery technology. To help you get smart fast on these advances, we’ve put together some of our best thought papers, blogs, webinars, and predictions from our Breakthrough Science Roadmap. Check them out below and let us know your thoughts.
