Impressive battery developments (or not?)

[John F]

This article describes some impressive new developments in battery technology.

But haven't we heard it all before? Is it really a promising leap forward or just another idea liable to fizzle out?

New battery technology can charge electric vehicles in less than 10 minutes, researchers say

The breakthrough will increase the competitiveness of EVs against fuel-powered cars

It just means that there's a lab full of battery research scientists somewhere that require another round of funding.

I'm thinking back to all the similar articles on this forum over the last 10 years. I think I'm right in saying not a single one of the break-through technologies has found its way into our ebike batteries yet.

the idea of combining graphite with black phosphorus in the anode is a good one though. Phosphorus is dangerous, I am not sure that it can be adopted for cars and bikes.
