Those are impressive numbers. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_commercial_batte...), NMC goes up to 205Wh/kg and NCA up to 220Wh/kg. It's the same ballpark as LCO, the original "Li-Ion" chemistry which seems to go up to 195Wh/kg.

Seems like at last some of the carbon nanotubes tech breakthroughs we read about here on hacker news have started making an impact.

Don't be too excited. They are as toxic as asbestos.

And, more recently, airborne nanotubes are leading to cancers: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41565-019-0472-4

Soon they'll be as common as microplastics and vastly more deadly but hey, cool new gadgets!

You definitely shouldn't eat or breathe anything inside a battery. Agree they should be disposed carefully.

You shouldn't coexist with things like asbestos.

It's either ignorant or disingenuous to try to equate that with don't drink the drain cleaner.

man that car accident + fire,will definatly not buy that

You shouldn't eat or breathe building insulation either, but we banned asbestos there. Anything where inhaled microparticles = cancer should not be in any consumer product. Yeah, benzene in gasoline, but the body can metabolize that. Carbon nanotubes stay lodged in tissues forever.
