However, researchers have found that the contact between the ceramic electrolyte and a solid lithium anode is insufficient for storing and supplying the amount of power needed for most electronics. These electrolytes are highly conductive, non-combustible and strong enough to resist dendrites. 2019.05.022.

The ARPA-E award is supported the development of the liquid metal grid-scale battery for low-cost, large scale storage of electrical energy. This new class of batteries could enable continuous power supply from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar and a more stable, reliable grid. The researchers have since switched.

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. The size of these batteries (in comparison to those used for portable electronics) places severe pressure on materials resources. Elemental resources.

The shelf-life of stored charge in rechargeable devices does not scale linearly with maximum SP and has led to trends referred to as ‘range-anxiety’, ‘compulsive charging’, etc. This limits the current application of RFBs to backup in grid balancing; they are not being widely considered for mobile applications.
