I don't expect it so quickly, but hopefully lithium ion batteries (and variants like Li-poly, LiFePO4, etc)

Sodium batteries are already commercially available and although their volumetric energy density and round trip efficiency is lower than lithium I think they are a promising alternative to lead acid and some lithium applications.

What are their advantages?

[โ€“] krolden@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

They don't combust when exposed to oxygen

Can you explain why and how? Do you imagine other (better?) batteries, or the disappearance of the need for batteries?

[โ€“] Tenderizer78@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 days ago

It's definitely the former.

[โ€“] davidgro@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Yes, better batteries that don't spontaneously combust, and last for far more charge cycles

Search engines, I guess. No I won't elaborate, mostly because I have no confidence.
