you’d know that if you read the article

Oof. You got me there lol.

I read the article and this one line stood out.

It stood out because half of what Murugesan would have expected to be lithium atoms were replaced with sodium.

This isn't new I think. Sodium-ion batteries were already known. Maybe there was still dendrite formation and this recipe might reduce or eliminate that? We'll have to wait and see.

In any case, if it can drastically reduce lithium usage that would be good progress.
