Why Is Everyone Trying to Build a Solid-State Battery?

</h5>
<p class="card-text line-clamp-3">A battery technology that’s getting a lot of attention is solid-state batteries, lithium-ion batteries that replace the liquid electrolyte with a solid material.</p>

<p dir="auto">Grid scale batteries would be better served by Nickel-Iron batteries with pumped electrolyte. They don't have a fire risk like Li-ion and can be discharged to 0% without damage. The downside is the electrolyte needs changing frequently (daily to weekly) but for a grid scale battery bank, that isn't an issue, just trickle through new electrolyte at a constant rate.</p>
<p dir="auto">It's not a solution for vehicles or portable devices, but for big batteries we shouldn't be looking at solid state.</p>
