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."

Indeed the similarity of those two is striking. I'm very much interested to see how this evolves together with the existing DSOs and TSOs. And if the opportunities of finally leveraging decentralization of supply will be realized.
In that case local energy exchange P2P-style payment becomes more interesting as well. There have been projects such as Project Origin by Danish Energinet (https://project-origin.github.io/docs/concept/overview.html) that could become more interesting in those cases.

#IronAir Batteries Are Here. They May Alter the Future of Energy.

Battery tech is now entering the Iron Age.

By Darren Orf
Published: Jan 17, 2023

"Each iron-air battery is about the size of a washer/dryer set and holds 50 iron-air cells, which are then surrounded by an electrolyte (similar to the Duracell in your TV remote). Using a principle called 'reverse rusting,' the cells 'breathe' in air, which transforms the iron into iron oxide (aka rust) and produces energy. To charge it back up, a current reverses the oxidation and turns the cells back into iron.

"NASA first started experimenting with iron-air batteries back in the late 1960s, and it’s obvious why this next-gen storage system has engineers excited. For one, iron-air batteries solve a few of lithium’s biggest shortcomings right off the bat. As their name suggests, these batteries use primarily #iron, the fourth most abundant element on Earth, and ... well ... air. This tech’s adoption could help curtail the large amounts of water used to mine #lithium (not to mention alleviating the potential for #GroundwaterContamination

"Secondly, and most importantly, iron-air batteries would be 10 times cheaper, perform better, and last 17 times longer. Right now, these batteries’ primary task would be to bridge the gap when utilities need more power during peak hours, and as green energy eats up a bigger share of the energy pie, they could also crucially store excess energy on sunny days to shore up supply when the clouds roll in. Lithium-ion only provides approximately four hours of storage, whereas iron-air could deliver up to 100 hours—a full four days to bridge those energy gaps.

"The downsides to iron-air batteries? They’re big and also slow to recharge, which is likely why lithium-ion will remain the battery of choice for electric cars and smartphones. #FormEnergy also says these iron-air batteries will form 'power blocks' where iron-air batteries handle long load times, while lithium-ion batteries take care of spikes in demand."
