The result is a more affordable battery from a faster, less wasteful process that uses less toxic material. Using the toxic chemical increases costs, heightens health and environmental concerns, and wastes large amounts of water to reduce acidity. NMA half cells show 200 mAh g −1 capacity with 96% capacity over 100 cycles.
