Battery Materials Today

Batteries are expected to simultaneously fulfill a large number of criteria in order to meet challenging combinations of consumer demands, such as high power and high-energy density, long life, low cost and excellent safety, and with minimal negative environmental impact. And while our understanding of how to manufacture batteries cheaply, efficiently and quickly has grown significantly in the last two decades, there remain many opportunities to make improvements on existing battery technologies through the use of high-performance materials.

Lithium-ion Batteries

Lithium-ion is not a single technology, but a family of technologies. Although they all rely on lithium as the shuttling ion, different versions of the technology combine the lithium with a variety of other materials to confer different properties. Collectively, lithium-ion technologies are the fastest growing form of battery on the worldwide market, with the potential to dominate the market in the short term. The lithium-ion battery presents clear fundamental technology advantages when compared to alternative battery chemistries. Decades of research have led its development it into the high energy density, high cycle life, high efficiency energy storage technology that it is today. Nevertheless, research and development continues on new electrode materials to push the boundaries of cost, energy density, power density, cycle life, and safety.
