Drawbacks of these batteries — the reason people are looking for new chemistries — are cost and scarcity of the primary minerals, limitations to energy density, safety issues, and temperature sensitivity. Another approach under development is adding lithium salt to the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries to reduce flammability.
