Why Lithium-Ion Won (And What's Next)
Lithium-ion batteries power our world, but their dominance wasn't a marketing win—it was a physics inevitability. This episode explores why lithium's position on the periodic table made it unbeatable for portable power and how three decades of incremental engineering squeezed out massive gains. We then look at the real engineering challenges behind the next frontiers: silicon anodes that swell like a sponge, sophisticated thermal systems that treat battery packs like climate-controlled apartments, and the manufacturing hurdles keeping transformative solid-state batteries just out of reach…
