Do you have more details about that?
Yeah, I'm quite curious myself as to why it's more difficult. My chemistry knowledge is chem1 level so all I know is that sodium atoms are larger and the energy levels for state change are slightly different
So basically we didn't have a material that could function as a cathode until now?
That is the case with every energy storage though in some cases it's more pronounced.
