Japanese researchers have developed a new material they estimate can triple the capacity of lithium-ion batteries.
The breakthrough comes courtesy of Sumitomo Electric Industries, which has set up a "small-scale production line" at its Osaka Works R&D center to produce the battery-boosting material, which they call "Aluminum-Celmet".
