Lithium-Ion batteries have become the portable power technology of choice, the problem is, energy density improvements are not keeping pace with the ever-increasing demand for performance, and that’s a problem. One technology that has the potential to deliver a step change in performance is the development of silicon-based anodes, due to the far gr…

In this series of podcasts, I often thought of the Battery industry as a whole, but in fact it is populated by individual businesses making individual product development decisions based on the needs of their market.
