Toward all-solid lithium batteries

Researchers investigate mechanics of lithium sulfides, which show promise as solid electrolytes.

Most batteries are composed of two solid, electrochemically active layers called electrodes, separated by a polymer membrane infused with a liquid or gel electrolyte. But recent research has explored the possibility of all-solid-state batteries, in which the liquid (and potentially flammable) electrolyte would be replaced by a solid electrolyte, which could enhance the batteries’ energy density and safety.

This is good! Research in new battery technology and redefining how a battery works is what we need. Phones are good enough technology wise the software can be made to run more efficiently the next phase must be having phones and other small electronic devices that can last weeks.

We are going to use a solid battery which explodes like a grenade.

We need phones which last weeks, I agree. However didn't we have such phones in the past? Use energy more wise, it will be more safe too.

It still lasts weeks if you use it like a phone.

Researchers; need to know the optimal temperature of the water before baking the cake.
Developers; goes straight to determining how much water to use for a perfect cake.
