Compared to lithium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries are more efficient, packing more power with the same size battery. As a result, EV batteries could become more compact, charge faster and weigh less, which could increase range.
Because lithium-ion batteries are able to store a significant amount of energy in such a small package, charge quickly and last long, they became the battery of choice for new devices. But new battery technologies are being researched and developed to rival lithium-ion batteries in terms of efficiency, cost and sustainability.
A battery with high energy density and specific energy is like a superhero – it can store a lot of energy in a small, lightweight package, making it ideal for portable electronics, electric vehicles, and other applications where space and weight are at a premium.
Good news: batteries are getting cheaper. While early signs show just how important batteries can be in our energy system, we still need gobs more to actually clean up the grid. If we’re going to be on track to cut greenhouse-gas emissions to zero by midcentury, we’ll need to increase battery deployment sevenfold.
One of the latest technologies includes graphene batteries, which promise faster charging, longer lifespans and greater safety than lithium-ion batteries. New battery technologies are being researched and developed to rival lithium-ion batteries in terms of efficiency, cost and sustainability.
The biggest concerns — and major motivation for researchers and startups to focus on new battery technologies — are related to safety, specifically fire risk, and the sustainability of the materials used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, namely cobalt, nickel and magnesium.
