Over decades as the battery of choice in everything from smartphones to electric cars and drones, its design has been tweaked countless times to improve its energy density and performance. But, some scientists say,those improvements are approaching their theoretical limits. Even the best models are prone to dying out in the cold, rapidly losing capacity or—as is the case for those in household devices—spontaneously catching fire. Meanwhile,demand for batteries has never been greater. By the end of the decade,battery installations could rise by almost 40% globally, and electric vehicles (EVs) are projected to command 30% of car sales in 2026.
