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...
I’m very interested in experimenting with na-ion this summer. Their specific power/energy densities are still low compared to li-ion but their cells are already available for cheaper than li-ion despite having not reached economies of scale yet. They also seem to be reporting (unverified in data sheets) longer cycle lifespans and larger operational temperature ranges. Could make for a very nice self managing solar powered pi project soon.
If costs drop fast, the lower density won’t even matter- it could be the kick in the ass for utility scale battery storage to take off.

Utility scale storage has already taken off.
But yea this could be a huge jump in the market.
