Columbia Engineers have developed a new, more powerful “fuel” for batteries—an electrolyte that is not only longer-lasting but also cheaper to produce. Renewable energy sources like wind and solar are essential for the future of our planet, but they face a major hurdle: they don’t consistently generate power when demand is high.
Modern battery technology offers a number of advantages over earlier models, including increased specific energy and energy density (more energy stored per unit of volume or weight), increased lifetime, and improved safety .
Columbia Engineering scientists are advancing renewable energy storage by developing cost-effective K-Na/S batteries that utilize common materials to store energy more efficiently, aiming to stabilize energy supply from intermittent renewable sources.
In addition, alternative batteries are being developed that reduce reliance on rare earth metals. These include solid-state batteries that replace the Li-Ion battery’s liquid electrolyte with a solid electrolyte, resulting in a more efficient and safer battery.
Projections are that more than 60% of all vehicles sold by 2030 will be EVs, and battery technology is instrumental in supporting that growth. Batteries also play a vital role in enhancing power-grid resilience by providing backup power during outages and improving stability in the face of intermittent solar or wind generation.
This could help new designs – and eventually battery production – avoid the problem. New lithium metal batteries with solid electrolytes are lightweight, nonflammable, pack a lot of energy, and can be recharged very quickly, but they have been slow to develop due to mysterious short circuiting and failure.
