To maximize the benefit of the open structure, the researchers needed to use ions that fit; hydrated potassium ions proved to be a much better fit compared with other hydrated ions such as sodium and lithium. Potassium will just zoom in and zoom out, so you can have an extremely high-power battery. —Yi Cui.
