Uh huh sure. How many countless articles are written a year with the exact same title “xyz incredible battery tech will revolutionize the world!” And you never ever hear from whatever the xyz was ever again. Been going on for decades, will probably be writing the same exact post from my lion powered device in another decade.
It often takes decades before a revolutionary technology is first discovered/invented, to when it js implemented. Not only does the end product need to work, but its constraints need to be practical, it needs a process that is economical, and it then needs to be scaled up, and the issues caused scale need to be ironed out.
As such, once the technology is actually implemented, it seems like a much more incremental change than the leap forward that it was a decade ago.
They do just creep in though. my phone now has a battery 4x the size of the one in my phone 5 years ago (although the processing power of the phone means I get half the lifetime). However it charges in 90min not 8hrs and supposedly lasts thousands of recycles without loss, where as my old phone needed a new battery after 6 months
