Comment on New nickel-iron battery charges in seconds, survives 12,000 cycles
blackbeans@lemmy.zip 5 hours agoArticle says 47 Wh/kg. Thats around a third of LFP cells. But the power density is way higher. Meaning it can do enormous peak currents.
For grid energy storage, energy density is not the most important factor, but the power density is a great plus. It means these cells can rapidly charge or discharge in the grid, offering flexibility to buffer in any way that is required. And the cycle life is also way higher.

It sounds like a great option for hybrid vehicle batteries, in that case. They still use NI-MH batteries a lot of the time.
