> The highly stable oxide electrolyte is used to replace flammable liquid polymer electrolyte to prevent or delay thermal runaway effect. The electrolyte material stability allows for the use of high-utilization cathode and anode materials to enable higher energy density in cells and lower manufacturing costs.


> Provided that someone manages to crack the mass production conundrum, of course, as solid-state prototypes are a dime a dozen, too.


These batteries have been worked on for years. The safety characteristics are good. They can survive being shot with a bullet:
