That will give you an idea about the depth of past and near current battery development. This is important, and scads of work is done on it. But, you have to dive into the scientific literature. Lots of papers are out there in the field of electrochemical science. You could start looking at papers from the Jeff Dahn lab. This thread talks about "batteties" as if that is a specific thing. I am going to assume the most recent comments are about lithium ion cells with non solid electrolyte. Talking about solid state cells as if there are common details confuses the discussion. The current li cells have a graphene cathode and a lithium anode. The main problem with longevity continues to be the extreme reactivity of the anode when the cell is fully charged. It is pretty inert when discharged but when a lot of li is relocated into the cathode the anode starts to destroy the electrolyte. The best way around this is to not charge cells fully and come up with protective additives to the electrolyte. Then there are optimizations like cooling to keep temperatures low during high current segments. Heat also accelerates cell damage.
