Sigh... while "good news", I really hope this doesn't put the push to recycle lithium batteries on the back burner.

The demand for lithium is still high enough that both are required, so it’s still good news regardless. But lithium batteries are still not super great due to the complex chemistry required.

I’m more interested in the solid state, sodium-ion, or the zinc based depending on the application and whether they can work out some of the hurdles.
