In a decade, solid-state batteries derived from rock silicates are poised to become a greener, more efficient, and safer alternative to today's lithium-ion batteries. Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) have patented an innovative superionic material made from potassium silicate-a mineral extractable from ordinary rocks.
Currently, the range and charging speed of elect
