Could lithium or sodium solid-state batteries reduce the need for Cobalt?

Next Step In Solid State Batteries

About half-way through the article:

The glass electrolyte has also allowed the researchers to replace the electrodes with pure metal (in conventional cells, pure metal leads to rapid dendrite growth and failure). Using pure metal electrodes allows higher voltages and a higher energy density of the battery.


So it may be a race between taking solid state batteries beyond theory and prototypes to reasonable production levels.

Interesting,... and Tesla and eCobalt may have some competition.
