RE:RE:RE:New Press Release - Novacium's Silicon-Based Batteries with GEN3 Anode Material Surpass 4,000 mAhWould expect you are right. This optimization is still experimentation and is the only way forward.
The NR says HPQ is on the right track.....and I like that it is tracking its competition...one it identifies who they are and two, they know what state they are in and feel good about their competitive abilities

Once the energy densities stop increasing significantly then they will have to start finer tweaking that will get them to the best state they can get to in that point in time (but R&D will be continuous).
The energy density is only one part of the equation. Degradation is one of the others and we have not seen results of testing more than 200 cycles. That testing will likely result in determining which applications will be best suited for different types of batteries.
