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?

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.
