The clean energy revolution requires a lot of batteries. While lithium-ion dominates today, researchers are on a quest for better materials.
Researchers have discovered the fundamental mechanism behind battery degradation, which could revolutionize the design of lithium-ion batteries, enhancing the driving range and lifespan of electric vehicles (EVs) and advancing clean energy storage solutions. The study identifies how hydrogen mole
Battery demand for EVs continues to rise. Automotive lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery demand increased by about 65% to 550 GWh in 2022, from about 330 GWh in 2021, primarily as a result of growth in electric passenger car sales, with new …
Emerging technologies such as solid-state batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, and flow batteries hold potential for greater storage capacities than lithium-ion batteries. Recent developments in battery energy density and cost reductions …
The due diligence requirement applies to all operators selling batteries in the EU market and extends across the entire battery value chain. This encompasses sourcing, processing, and trading of raw materials, chemicals, and secondary materials, as well as
We use energy constantly – when we''re awake, when we''re asleep, no matter what we''re doing. We tend to take for granted how easy it is for us to obtain the energy required to power devices, appliances, tools, machines, vehicles, and all the things we use ...
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries have potential in electric vehicles and large-scale grid storage applications because they are safer and longer lasting than lithium-ion batteries. In the future, LFPs could serve as the battery architecture for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries because of their performance and lack of expensive transition metals.
With over 3 billion electric vehicles (EVs) on the road and 3 terawatt-hours (TWh) of battery storage deployed in the NZE in 2050, batteries play a central part in the new energy economy. They also become the single largest source of demand for various critical minerals such as lithium, nickel and cobalt.
