A solid-state lithium battery PhD describes using the AI tool apodex to map a decade of field evolution—from ionic conductivity work to Li-metal interfaces, dendrites, stack pressure and manufacturing. AI gave in days the mental map that took months to build. He concludes: get the map first, then read what matters—but the best lessons came from non-top-10 papers' odd details, a judgment feel a field map alone can't teach.
