Claims Of Revolutionary Batteries Turn Out To Be Unfounded Hype By “Uncritical Media”

Claimed revolutions in battery technology are somewhat symptomatic of how the media work and fail.
Japanese company TDK reports progress in battery technology. The company’s new batteries are said to have an enormous energy density, said to increase by an incredible factor of 100. That would indeed be a sensation; a cell phone would only need to be recharged three times a year. E-cars could cover very long distances. The FAZ (paid article) immediately jumped on this news.
Japanese Apple supplier TDK promises significantly longer battery life for small devices such as headphones, smartwatches and hearing aids thanks to a new battery technology it has developed. The solid-state batteries, for which the company has now announced a technological breakthrough, enable an energy density 100 times higher than the current solid-state batteries from TDK. “We believe that our newly developed material for solid-state batteries can make a significant contribution to the energy transition,” said TDK CEO Noboru Saito.”
No miracle
