Beyond Lithium-Ion: How Solid-State, Lithium-Sulfur, Sodium-Ion & Graphene Batteries Will Revolutionize EVs, Gadgets and Grid Storage
Toyota targets solid-state EV batteries with 750-mile range and 10-minute charging by 2027–2028. CATL claims 175 Wh/kg sodium-ion cells with 10,000+ cycles; Chery launched the first Na-ion EV in 2023. Flow batteries see 700 MWh deployment in China. Lyten and Samsung SDI advance graphene and solid-state prototypes, while automakers test Li‑S and niobium‑graphene cells for longer life and faster charging.
