Japan’s TDK is claiming a breakthrough in materials used in its small solid-state batteries, with the Apple supplier predicting significant performance increases for devices from wireless headphones to smartwatches.

The new material provides an energy density—the amount that can be squeezed into a given space—of 1,000 watt-hours per liter, which is about 100 times greater than TDK’s current battery in mass production. Since TDK introduced it in 2020, competitors have moved forward, developing small solid-state batteries that offer 50 Wh/l, while rechargeable coin batteries using traditional liquid electrolytes offer about 400 Wh/l, according to the group.

“We believe that our newly developed material for solid-state batteries can make a significant contribution to the energy transformation of society. We will continue the development towards early commercialization,” said TDK’s chief executive Noboru Saito.

Ahh yes another cure for cancer is just a week away followed by room temperature fusion. Looks like someone's funding is drying up and they are looking for investors. Sorry just an jaded old man yelling at the cloud. Nothing to see here.

aaaaand daaaamn TDK that's a name I've haven't heard in a LOOONG time LOOOONG time....not since Cassettes and VHS tape era.
