Lithium-ion batteries are responsible for the power behind your smartphone, laptop, and virtually any rechargeable device you own—automobiles like the Tesla even rely on them.
Despite its widespread use and its incredible history of success, however, lithium-ion batteries are not perfect. From high-profile fires to the rising cost of lithium, there are many reasons why experts are scrambling to find a safer, more efficient, and less expensive substance to power tomorrow's electronics.
