It's just about LFP which are very common now. The new trend is sodium ion instead of lithium ion. CATL (battery manufacturer in China) is shipping those now, and they are starting to appear in some cars.

How's the density compared to LFP?

I believe it's notably worse. The focus seems to be more on industrial use cases with stationary batteries.

I think somewhat worse, but try a web search. One attraction iirc is very fast charging.
