Anybody have a feel for the cost of Vanadium cathodes? Based on cost per watt hour, I am guessing that low cost manganese is not a component of current production. Also, the general drift has been that costly, toxic cobalt oxide is history.

There are hints in the referenced patent that the new Vanadium oxide cathode is competitive with metallic lithium without the problems. This kind of performance probably doesn't come cheap. Just a guess.
