#121 Batteries: The Lithium-Silicon Age

After a decade of growth, there were 10 million electric cars on the world’s roads by the end of 2020. This growth trend is set to continue, with at least 145 million on the roads by 2030. The performance of batteries in this electrified future will be critical. In this episode we are looking at a start-up that is hoping to revolutionise the materials we use to build batteries, just in time for the coming boom in demand.
