“Doubling the capacity of lithium “
Which you said couldn’t be done.
Doubling from nearly nothing to next to nearly nothing is not really an advancement. Get to me when they manage to pack in 33 MJ/L, like gasoline.
If they doubled the energy of lithium, they would move from
2 MJ/L to 4 MJ/L.

It is a dead-end path at the moment.
