Sodium ion batteries would be better for grid storage. They’re cheaper, more durable, and work in a wider range of temperatures. Plus they’re going to market within the year
My understanding is these come with density issues. Basically they need significantly more space. Definently should be scalable for most utilities. Although some in more urban contexts may struggle to find the space initially. Maybe old fossil fuel plants can be refitted.
Not useful for at home systems either, but I hope they continue to improve to that point
Brighter note, to date is still the best way to make batteries, we need it to build storage capabilities for a grid based on renewable energy.
Unfortunately we’ll probably end up using it for disposable vapes instead
I see so many of those disposed of on the street near a vape store and it drives me nuts.
