When we calculate the cost of energy storage, we need to amortize it over the overall energy throughput, meaning that the battery is rechargeable, so we can use it many, many times. So if we have a longer service life, then this cost will be further reduced. —lead author Jingxu (Kent) Zheng, currently a postdoc at MIT.
