"new form electrolyte enables solid-state sodium energy... higher current density than previously... electrolytes... room temperature... longer-lasting and lower-cost sodium batteries. replace lithium, most popular battery storage option. Lithium controls over 90% global grid battery storage market.... rising costs and supply bottlenecks mean it’s not sustainable and unlikely to meet its high demand. By contrast, sodium is more abundant, less flammable, and now could be easier to replicate as a store of power"
