Solid state batteries are starting to advance at a faster pace and offer numerous advantages over the current batteries in almost every respect. We can now expect solid state batteries to advance at the same speed as the semiconductor sector of which they are a part. Any thouoghts of how this technology could advance further and faster would be appreciated.
Factorial Energy delivers high-performing, safe, purpose-driven, solid-state batteries, powering life to the fullest. We’re saving the planet one step at a time

No we can't, because semiconductor advances come from PPE improvements due to decreasing feature dimensions and new tricks like nanosheets. Solid-state batteries are a chemical improvement in construction which will give a step-up when it happens, but afterwards is likely to revert to the same slow yearly battery capacity increase we've seen in the last 10 years or so. Unless there are further fundamental breakthroughs in capacity, none of which are anything to do with semiconductors because the underlying physics is completely different.
Just because they're "solid-state" and use silicon doesn't suddenly means Moore's Law kicks in, any more than labelling something with "AI" makes it magically better... ;-)
