Samsung's all solid state battery is built with an Ag-C (silver - Carbon) layer. It replaces flammable liquid electrolytes with a solid electrolyte. It should be in commercial production early in 2027 for EV's. Way ahead of anything that is being tested at Stanford.
This is about solid-state technology also - i.e. no liquid - and albeit lithium-metal is cheaper in terms of materials you are right, lithium is harder and so pricier to control in foil form but the issue mentioned here is not the only one: silver-carbon also needs dry-room technology - pushing the prices up - but lithium is really "wild" in the presence of water and controlling it is much tougher (some might remember violent reaction of sodium piece when put on the surface of water from high school experiment. Lithium comes before sodium in the same group and is noticeably more violent)
An AI guy called Asian Guy publishes many YouTubes daily. He said Samsung was dumping 350 million ounces of silver because it was subsituting the use of graphene for silver. Any truth here?

Thanks Bob and Spinoza. I was just thinking about the Samsung approach and how it might compare
and all those batteries need graphite hence Titan Mining TII
Samsung has been talking about this for a while Ag Li
Please rxplain signifigance of Titan mining?
