It’s pretty commonly accepted that our current lithium ion battery technology is a huge limiting factor in a number of technological areas from electric vehicles to phones, computers, and beyond. With so many massive corporations and governments that have such a large incentive to improve the technology, why are we still stuck with lithium ion?

We’re not “stuck with lithium ion”, it just happens to be what’s in widespread use right now. That doesn’t mean it’s the pinnacle of battery technology. Right now, companies are working on making both aluminum ion and graphene batteries commercially viable. Those both have advantages over lithium ion and will help expand electrification.
