IMPOSSIBLE!:
A Battery for Electronics That Lasts Twice as Long (Kevin Bullis, February 2, 2015, MIT Technology Review)
A new kind of lithium-ion battery could let portable electronics such as smartphones and smart watches last twice as long between charges.1The battery was developed by SolidEnergy, a company spun out of MIT in 2012. The secret to boosting energy storage lies in swapping the conventional electrode material--graphite--for a thin sheet of lithium-metal foil, which can store more lithium ions.
