[00:00:00]Why your next smartphone battery won't be lithium-ion.

[00:00:03]Standard batteries rely on liquid electrolytes that form needle-like crystals called dendrites, eventually causing dangerous short circuits.

[00:00:11]Solid-state batteries replace this liquid with a ceramic or glass electrolyte, drastically increasing energy density and safety.

[00:00:18]Even more impressive, solid-state batteries could theoretically charge to 80% in under 10 minutes.

[00:00:24]This rapid process occurs without generating the intense heat that currently degrades your standard lithium-ion cells, paving the way for a much faster charging future.
