We see China’s miserable technology attempts and raise with 21,235,364 woke idiots with underwater lesbian dance degrees and 1,253,362 trannie wierdos doing face dances on four year olds.

From the article: "China also stands out in the ranking of patents by organization."

What a joke! Like China cares anything about patents where their 1/2 trillion dollars in IP theft every year!

Unless you find a way to make batteries from Hydrogen or Helium you won’t get anything lighter than Lithium.

[Tell It Right]

We don't need an alternative for lithium. We don't need an alternative for oil. We don't need an alternative for natural gas. We don't need an alternative for coal.

What we need is to drill baby drill and mine baby mine and put in prison the government officials who try to limit our options. In a free market there's plenty of energy for all Americans to buy cheaply in whatever form they want to cool and heat their homes and however they want to drive (ICE or EV). Don't fall for the left in arguing over which energy sources are better. Always the argument should be getting the government out of the way so we can buy whatever we want.

“China leads global battery patent race for post-lithium-ion era”

MEANINGLESS, as we have far more Drag Queens working on advanced battery designs than they do...so nothing to worry about here.

[Brian Griffin]

“In 2021 researchers from China tried layered structure MoS
2 as a new type of anode for sodium-ion batteries. A dissolution-recrystallization process densely assembled carbon layer-coated MoS2 nanosheets onto the surface of polyimide-derived N-doped carbon nanotubes. This kind of C-MoS2/NCNTs anode can store 348 mAh/g at 2 A/g, with a cycling stability of 82% capacity after 400 cycles at 1 A/g.”

“Sodium-ion batteries can use aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes. The limited electrochemical stability window of water results in lower voltages and limited energy densities. Non-aqueous carbonate ester polar aprotic solvents extend the voltage range. These include ethylene carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and propylene carbonate. The most widely used non-aqueous electrolyte uses sodium hexafluorophosphate as the salt dissolved in a mixture of these solvents. Additionally, electrolyte additives can improve performance metrics.”

The Wikipedia article has a sodium-ion/lithium-ion/lead–acid battery comparision table.

Well, okay. But the United States is leading in the pronoun race (em, cirself, etc.).
By some accounts we now have more than 70 different ones.

Try to top that, China.

More pollution but no response form the eco crazies

...my daughter, a full time mother of 2 and full time CPA/Controller for a large restaurant chain won’t drive her and her husband’s Tesla across the street. He, an attorney, rightfully is stuck with driving what was his idea in the first place.

I like Musk and I wish his car was a better product but it is just not.
