That is some interesting stuff, would be a real game changer! First thought came to my mind was https://evtol.com/news/oxis-lithium-sulfur-battery-bye-aerospace/jedishrfu said:A more recent article announces a change in how lithium battery chemistry works that can prevent battery degradation.

Here's something that might be of interest from Battery University:kenny1999 said:If a rechargeable Lithium battery is new and not used for a few years, will it degrade much slower or as fast as the one that is regularly used, charged and discharged? What if I only start to use it after a few years for the first time, will the battery already degrade so badly
Lithium batteries are made of lithium, a highly reactive metal, and a variety of other materials such as carbon, copper, and aluminum. The exact composition of lithium batteries can vary depending on the type and manufacturer.
Lithium batteries work by using the movement of lithium ions between a positive and negative electrode to create an electrical current. When the battery is charged, the lithium ions move from the positive electrode to the negative electrode. When the battery is being used, the lithium ions move back to the positive electrode, creating a flow of electricity.
Lithium batteries have several advantages over other types of batteries. They have a high energy density, meaning they can store a lot of energy in a small size. They also have a low self-discharge rate, meaning they can hold their charge for longer periods of time. Additionally, lithium batteries have a longer lifespan and can be recharged many times.
Overall, lithium batteries are considered safe to use. However, they can be dangerous if mishandled or damaged. If a lithium battery is punctured or exposed to extreme temperatures, it can catch fire or explode. It is important to handle lithium batteries carefully and follow proper storage and disposal guidelines.
Lithium batteries should be disposed of properly to prevent environmental contamination and potential hazards. Many cities and towns have designated drop-off locations for battery recycling. You can also check with your local waste management company for specific guidelines on how to dispose of lithium batteries in your area.
