Conclusive summary and perspective Lithium-ion batteries are considered to remain the battery technology of choice for the near-to mid-term future and it is anticipated that significant to substantial further improvement is possible.
In fact, compared to other emerging battery technologies, lithium-ion batteries have the great advantage of being commercialized already, allowing for at least a rough estimation of what might be possible at the cell level when reporting the performance of new cell components in lab-scale devices.
To find promising alternatives to lithium batteries, it helps to consider what has made the lithium battery so popular in the first place. Some of the factors that make a good battery are lifespan, power, energy density, safety and affordability.
For example, LIBs in EVs are mostly disposed when the capacity retention is at 80% after repetitive charge/discharge. 2,18 Repurposing the residual 80% lifetime of LIBs for other applications would significantly extend the lifespan of the battery, reducing the need for new batteries to be manufactured.
Lithium-ion batteries offer a contemporary solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions and combat the climate crisis driven by gasoline usage. Consequently, rigorous research is currently underway to improve the performance and sustainability of current lithium-ion batteries or to develop newer battery chemistry.
Lithium-ion batteries hold energy well for their mass and size, which makes them popular for applications where bulk is an obstacle, such as in EVs and cellphones. They have also become cheap enough that they can be used to store hours of electricity for the electric grid at a rate utilities will pay.
