Lithium-ion batteries are the workhorses of home electronics and are powering an electric revolution in transportation. But they are not suitable for every application. A key drawback is their flammability and toxicity, which make large-scale lithium-ion energy storage a bad fit in densely populated city centers and near metal processing or chemical manufacturing plants. Now…

Batteries have become a cornerstone of the global energy transition, powering not just electric vehicles but also supporting power grids and facilitating the decarbonization of buildings. The demand for efficient and safe energy storage solutions has skyrocketed as the world increasingly gets its energy from renewable sources. Alongside the surge in demand are significant investments…
