There are quite a lof of new technologies for creating better
batteries. Some of them promise to charge super fast, others
promise to last longer. This is a list of the most interesting
and promising technologies. It’s a lot to read, so I made a
brief summary for each one. Silicon nanotube anode They promise
to increase battery life 10 times by absorbing higher levels of
lithium when the battery is charged. There is also a downside,
the volume of silicon batteries can increase 4 times. gizmag -
