Aluminum-nickel molten salt battery for seasonal renewables storage

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/04/06/aluminum-nickel-molten-salt-battery-for-seasonal-renewables-storage/

"battery’s energy is stored at a materials cost of about $23 per kilowatt-hour... hopes of bringing the materials cost down to around $6 per kilowatt-hour, roughly 15 times less than the materials cost of today’s lithium-ion batteries...can retain 92% of its initial capacity over a period of 12 weeks. They said it has a theoretical energy density of 260 W/hours per kg... added sulfur to the electrolyte to increase the battery’s storage capacity. A ceramic separator was embedded between the anode"
