I wouldn’t call it a single advancement but hundreds. The materials might be largely the same but manufacturing is huge. When you roll up some metal to make a battery then increasing the number of layers is a huge challange when they’re already tiny.
There’s a pile of battery patents that are all game-changing but when a company decides to make a dedicated factory that’s when you know shit is going down.
