wow, I wonder how close that is to reality.
Anyone else raise a smile to:

Same.
Closer if it's cheaper. Otherwise, just talk.

TL;DR: zinc
QuoteThey created a binding material that will keep a high-capacity silicon anode from expanding, creating a stable lithium battery with at least ten times the capacity of one that uses a traditional graphite anode.
