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.
Batteries are fundamental to modern energy systems, serving as the backbone for everything from mobile devices to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. As these applications expand, the limitations of current battery technologies become more apparent, driving a critical need for advancements.
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.
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 .
Impact on the Automotive Industry: Advancements in battery technologies, such as solid-state and lithium-sulfur batteries, will revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) landscape. For example, solid-state batteries, with their higher energy densities, could potentially double the driving range of EVs compared to current lithium-ion models.
But new battery technologies are being researched and developed to rival lithium-ion batteries in terms of efficiency, cost and sustainability. Many of these new battery technologies aren’t necessarily reinventing the wheel when it comes to powering devices or storing energy.
