There are only 92 elements on the periodic table . Which one is going to make a better battery at room temperature , at atmospheric pressure and be rechargeable .
Do tell us what material has better valance electron orbit .
Problem is that you do not realize that your question and suggestion are not valid .
Lithium was first isolated in 1821 . However it is in the same family of highly reactive light weight metals as sodium, potassium and phosphorus . Most of those in the pure form burst into flame when exposed to air or water .
Nobody bothered to make a battery out of the stuff until the 1970s . It was done just to prove that they could do it . Every chemist knew lithium had the ideal electron orbit but it was not worth messing with in that era .
Do tell us what other element has a better electron orbit to make a battery out of ?
Lithium was considered too costly , too toxic , too volatile and too dangerous to make batteries out of . Until cell phones and laptops appeared there was no pressing demand for higher energy density in a lightweight battery .
Google lithium battery fires if you think lithium is a ho-hum benign material .
You want something even more chemically reactive in your pocket ? Fluoride is a contender however it is trading one set of problems for another .

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
