The battery miracle online is doing the most

Dear Cherubs, the internet has once again discovered a battery so perfect it sounds like it came from a pitch deck written by a caffeinated intern and approved by gravity itself. The specific 90-second charge, 99.7% storage retention, and 5,000-cycle package circulating online was not verifiable from primary sources I checked, so the smart move is to treat it as a viral claim, not a finished breakthrough.

Reality check

What is real is the bigger trend: solid-state batteries replace the flammable liquid electrolyte used in conventional lithium-ion cells with a solid ion conductor, which can improve safety and potentially raise energy density. MIT has been making that case for years, while also pointing out that the interface between materials is still the part where the dream gets stuck in traffic.

That interface problem is not a footnote. MIT’s recent coverage says solid-state cells are still plagued by dendrites that can short-circuit the battery, and a 2020 MIT review lays out the rest of the mess: chemical stability, mechanical stability, processing, and long-term performance. In other words, the field is advancing, just not in the magical “plug in for 90 seconds and disappear for six months” way social media likes to sell it.

DOE’s battery overview says solid-state batteries can be safer because they are less prone to leakage from damage or swelling in hot temperatures, but it also notes that some designs still use a little liquid at the cathode to reduce interfacial resistance. Translation: progress, yes. Fairy dust, no.

Why it matters

The good news is that the field is moving. In 2025, Stellantis and Factorial Energy said they validated automotive-sized solid-state cells with 375 Wh/kg energy density and fast charging from 15% to 90% in 18 minutes, with a demonstration fleet planned for 2026. That is not “two-minute EV charging,” but it is a serious step forward, which is how real engineering usually behaves when nobody is trying to go viral.

So the right takeaway is not that battery problems have been solved. It is that researchers keep making the hard part less impossible. If the viral post was pointing at a real advance, it was probably one brick in a wall, not the wall itself. The upside is still huge: safer packs, longer life, and faster charging. The downside is that physics remains deeply committed to being inconvenient.

#SodiumIonBatteries offer an alternative to tricky #lithium

Oct 26th 2023

Excerpt: "Fortunately, lithium is not the only game in town. As we report this week, a clutch of firms are making batteries based on sodium, lithium’s elemental cousin. Since sodium’s chemical properties are very similar to those of lithium, it too makes for good batteries. And sodium, which is found in the salt in #seawater, is thousands of times more abundant on Earth than lithium and cheaper to get at. Most of the companies using sodium to make batteries today are also Chinese. But pursuing the technology in the West might be a surer route to energy security than relying heavily on lithium.

"Besides its abundance, sodium has other advantages. The best lithium batteries use #cobalt and #nickel in their electrodes. Nickel, like lithium, is in short supply. #Mining it on land is #EnvironmentallyDestructive. Proposals to grab it from the #seabed instead have caused rows. A good deal of the world’s cobalt, meanwhile, is extracted from small mines in the #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo, where #ChildLabour is common and working conditions are dire. Sodium batteries, by contrast, can use #electrodes built from #iron and #manganese [and wood #lignin], which are plentiful and uncontroversial. Since the chemical components are cheap, a scaled-up industry should be able to produce batteries that cost less than their lithium counterparts.

"Sodium is not a perfect replacement for lithium. It is heavier, meaning sodium batteries will weigh more than lithium ones of an equivalent capacity. That is likely to rule them out in some cases where lightness is paramount. But for other applications, such as #GridStorage or #HomeBatteries, weight is irrelevant. Several Chinese carmakers are even beginning to put sodium batteries in #ElectricVehicles."

Fast-charging #SodiumIon battery uses anodes made from trees

By C.C. Weiss
June 09, 2024

"A month after #NatronEnergy began its first-of-kind sodium-ion battery mass production, Swedish sodium-ion developer #Altris has identified a means of making the LithiumFree batteries even more sustainable. Together with partner #StoraEnso, it's adapting tree pulp-sourced carbon toward use as an anode material.

"A byproduct of wood pulp manufacturing, #lignin has long been investigated for possible use as a more sustainable electrode material. Finnish renewable materials company Stora Enso made headlines in 2022 when it partnered up with Swedish battery manufacturer #Northvolt toward using its proprietary #Lignode material in lithium-ion battery anodes. Stora Enso describes Lignode as a hard carbon material refined from lignin.

"By teaming with Altris, Stora Enso looks to go even more sustainable while further localizing the European battery supply chain. As we looked at when Natron Energy kicked off production a few weeks ago, sodium-ion batteries eliminate the need for rare minerals like lithium, cobalt and nickel, relying on abundant sodium that can be sourced locally without harmful #mining.

The falling prices of Lithium-ion battery cells.

To transition towards low-carbon energy systems, we need *low-cost* energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries are the most commonly used.

The prices of these lithium-ion cells have fallen by more than 99% since 1991.

New company on #BayFarm island in #EastBay says they have created the “#NextGeneration” of #batteries that are safer than explosion prone #lithiumIon types and will revolutionize industries from small portable devices to #ElectricVehicles.

Many new #batteries use a liquid #lithium-ion core that can leak and combust, while #Alameda based #AnthroEnergy’s solid-state batteries use a patented technology to solidify the core. The developer claims the innovative tech creates a non-flammable, semi-solid battery with 35% more energy density than traditional batteries, and is resistant to leaking, warping and combustion.

They hope to get more investment into their #BayArea plant and begin production of half a million individual battery cells a year.

March 5 update from District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire.

“Current monitoring focuses on hydrogen fluoride and particulate matter, but traditional air quality indexes measure ozone, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particle pollution —not heavy metals. However, when batteries burn, it is reasonable to assume that small heavy metal particles are released into the air.”

"When I took office two years ago, I accepted several tours of the #Vistra facility, including a tour inside the building that burned. The facility and its safety systems appeared impressive. I was personally given the guarantee that a fire similar to the one that occurred in 2022 at the neighboring PG&E / #Tesla operation could not happen at Vistra. We know that is not true. This disaster is worse.

"There has been some great #news reporting on this story, but there have also been some errors. There is a great deal of #misinformation being spread. That is because there are a lot of unknowns. I would urge everyone to doublecheck every source."
