China has cornered the market in green energy transition technologies in recent years, and very effectively gained control of raw material supply chains so a...
pros:
cleaner (no lithium)
wear down slower than liion
resistant to temps
cons:
lower capacity
when they fail, they fail hard (e.g suddenly stop working)
theyre IMO very ideal for offsite energy storage (where space is not a problem) or a residential battery wall. as they dont have the risk of catching on fire.
IMO if any nation is trying to solarize their energy grid, backing salt ion is the better long term option.
iirc the tldr with salt batteries is:
