Because the ions can move so freely, the electrode’s cycle of charging and discharging is extremely fast. As a result, the ions don’t have to travel very far into the electrode to react with active sites in a particle to charge the electrode to its maximum capacity, or to get back out during discharge. Cost is a greater concern.
