We need this tech NOW! Some #LithiumIon alternatives discussed are #SodiumIonBatteries, #HydrogenFuelCells and #AqueousMagnesiumBatteries (which I'm just learning about).
6 alternatives to lithium-ion batteries: What's the future of energy storage?
The future of battery tech looks bright, but we might have to wait a while.

March 11, 2024"Li-on batteries require environmentally destructive #mining practices for metals such as #lithium, #cobalt, and #nickel. Moreover, a large amount of these metal resources are located in developing countries like the Democratic Republic of Congo [#DRC]. Ethical mining practices haven’t been established in these areas yet, meaning Li-on production contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions."
