Solid-State Batteries
Next-generation battery chemistry that replaces conventional liquid electrolytes with solid ion-conducting materials like polymers and ceramics, thereby increasing energy, improving safety, and potentially lowering costs.
LUX TAKE:
Incumbent batteries will be hard to displace, but of all the next-generation batteries currently on offer, solid-state batteries offer the best chance, thanks to a mix of performance and safety advantages; watch for Toyota and others to bring the technology to market in the next ten years. Those jumping into the field, however, should be wary of some serious challenges, including energy density, ...
