What are the limitations to making progress with engineering better batteries? What progress have battery engineers made?

Sorry i dont understand the question can you rephase it?

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.

Moles = mass/molar mass the molar mass of c20 = 12.011*20 = 240.22 g per mole therefore, the number of moles is 20 g / 240.22 g per mol = 0.0833 moles.

Its not chemical its not radiation and its not convection because there is not movement of fluids so it is thermal conduction
