Iron-Air Batteries Are Here. They May Alter the Future of Energy
Popular Mechanics

But what might work for your laptop isn’t the best storage idea for power grids where energy output is measured in megawatts. Lithium-ion batteries are only great at expending energy over a short period, the compound lithium isn’t exactly readily available.
Lithium-ion only provides approximately four hours of storage, whereas iron-air could deliver up to 100 hours
Form Energy, a Massachusetts-based energy company, thinks it has the solution: iron-air batteries. And the company is willing to put $760 million behind the idea by building a new manufacturing facility in West Virginia.
