Understanding a cerium quirk could help advance grid-scale energy storage

"more efficient cerium-based batteries... less voltage loss during charging and discharging... cerium picked up and dropped off electrons... when cerium short three electrons, surrounded by water, while when it gives up that fourth electron, sulfate or bisulfate ions hanging off cerium ion... when we oxidize cerium by taking away that electron, or reduce it by giving the electron back, both an electron transfer has to occur and the molecules around it have to rearrange"
